The Promotable Business Analyst

Do you feel like your BA career is in standstill? Have you recently discovered the business analyst profession and felt like you found a label for what you’ve been doing for years? Are you interested in becoming a business analyst lead or senior business analyst?

Are you wondering “what’s next”?

The Promotable Business Analyst will help you craft a fulfilling career in business analysis. I’ve interviewed dozens of business analysts in the last year and in this book I’ll share their secrets about what makes a successful business analyst. Bridging the Gap columnist, BA consultant, and BA mentor, Adriana Beal, is collaborating to share her expertise on business analysis competencies.

Here’s a sample of what we have in store:

• Identify the “as is” state of your BA career and determine your marketable business analyst competencies.
• Explore potential BA career paths and define a “to be” target position.
• Build a professional development plan to move into that position.
• Communicate more effectively about the value you, as a business analyst, provide to your organization.
• Take on new responsibilities to enhance the value you provide to your organization, the key to earning that next promotion.

Whether you are actively considering your next career move or just want to be prepared, The Promotable Business Analyst will help you start opening doors. It’s self-directed, so you can work through the book at your own pace or choose the sections that interest you the most.

I’m expecting the eBook version of The Promotable Business Analyst to be out by the middle of 2010. Leave your email and a comment about your business analyst career to be the first to know when this book is published and receive a special offer.
