About this blog

At Bridging the Gap we help business analysts become leaders and advance their careers.

Success in the business analyst profession is no longer just about having the right templates in place or creating the best models. Success comes from leadership and a proactive focus on results: business analysts help organizations successfully deliver projects to create positive change. You can read about my vision for the business analyst profession in the Business Analyst Manifesto.

When you visit Bridging the Gap I hope you leave more confident in your next step to help your organization create positive change. I want you to find support, ideas, connections, and resources that help you take on new challenges and experiment with new ways of executing on our craft.

As organizations continue to become more complex and integrated, the business analyst role will rise in importance. Already, some of the best leaders in business and IT are those with a strong business analyst mindset. Master our craft and be a leader and there will be no limit for your career.
