Embracing the BA Mindset: Adapting to Technological Advancements and Market Trends

By Neha Trivedi | Business Analysis Practice Lead

Adapting and staying current has become an essential part of every IT professional’s life now. The technological advancements with the boom of AI and cloud technologies and the rising trend of companies moving towards Product from Project methodologies has a definite impact on the field of business analysis.

The field of business analysis has also been evolving and adapting to the current market demands giving the opportunity to business analysts to not only level up but also get attuned to trends and customer needs. Business Analysts who are embracing change and adopting the “BA Mindset” continue to grow along with technology without any hindrance.

Having a BA Mindset is not only about practicing the core skills of business analysis – namely, critical thinking, research skills, sound reasoning and problem-solving skills, technical knowledge (based on interest and project needs), effective communication and documentation skills; but also adopting a customer/client centric approach in work – meaning, focusing on customer/project needs and adding value towards reaching the end goal.

I would like to conclude with having a BA Mindset, staying current and embracing the changes and upskilling myself as needed to stay aligned with the technological advancements and client/customer strategic visions have always helped me advance and cater to my client needs. If I have to summarize it all in one sentence – “Never let the student in you die”.

If you are business analysis or a hiring manager looking to add an awesome business analyst into your team/project/product needs; please reach to efossey@logisolve.com or ntrivedi@logisolve.com , we would love to work with you.
