    About this ebook

    Business Analysts: Chart Your Path to Success with Creative Solutions to Complex Business Problems!

    Business in the 21st century is rife with complexity. To leverage that complexity and guide an organization through these turbulent times, today’s business analyst must transition from a tactical, project-focused role to a creative, innovative role.

    The path to this transition—and the tools to accomplish it—are presented in this new book by acclaimed author Kathleen “Kitty“ Hass. Winner of PMI’s David I. Cleland Project Management Literature Award for her book Managing Complex Projects: A New Model, Hass has again written a book that will refocus a discipline.

    Hass believes that only by confronting and capitalizing on change and complexity—the new “constants” in today’s world—can organizations forge ahead. The enterprise business analyst is perfectly positioned to understand the needs of an organization, help it remain competitive, identify creative solutions to complex business problems, bring about innovation, and constantly add value for the customer and revenue to the bottom line.

    The Enterprise Business Analyst: Developing Creative Solutions to Complex Business Problems offers:

    An overview of the current and emerging role of the business analyst
    New leadership models for the 21st century
    Methods for fostering team creativity
    Practices to spark innovation
    Strategies for communicating in a complex environment

    A resource and reference for business analysts, this book provides every member of today’s enterprise management team the creative outlook and key skills needed to capitalize on complexity and succeed in today’s challenging business environment.
