The Domain

Kingdom means King’s Domain

Domain is the area undergoing analysis

It is where the business analyst deploy his or hersolution

The Environment where the business analystoperates

The Tree

http://www.google.it/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=N-42e2QoessedM&tbnid=NvDMQpvh9C-UfM:&ved=0CAgQjRwwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stirling.gov.uk%2Fservices%2Fbusiness-and-trade%2Fcountryside-and-farming%2Fparks%2C-gardens-and-open-spaces-management-and-maintenance%2Ftree-management&ei=KOJgUrHnBvCg0wWtqoGQDw&psig=AFQjCNFXn9conW99lzXoNeU6BICy6pkduA&ust=1382167464163900

The Tree

“A business analysis tree can be defined as a practice, act or position or inclination that is unnatural to the business analysis practice but can give a business analyst a unique view of his or her environment from a vantage position”

The Tree

A business analysis tree is a time tested platform that can give a business analyst a leverage to see things from a vantage position

A tree allows you to take a vantage position, survey your environment and get the best solution

The Unstable Environment

The word unstable means unreliable, unpredictable

Gone are the days of local environment

The only environment in today’s world is Global

The Global environment is unstable, i.e. US Debt Ceiling Crisis, Oil Issue in Niger Delta Nigeria, etc.

The Border (BA 1.0): Attributes of the Business Analyst

Always think in the local context

Silo mentality

Unaware of the global trend

Uninterested in Professional Development

The Global (BA 2.0)

http://www.google.it/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=KK3vNOS4L14NfM&tbnid=Cpif6keusSxi8M:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Frebeccamarie3.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F03%2F30%2Fface-book-and-the-global-village%2F&ei=w_JgUueFM43Usgag3IHACg&bvm=bv.54176721,d.d2k&psig=AFQjCNGbGr2taXFW7GeSCYvSdlwRV-Up8w&ust=1382171649086957

The Border (BA 2.0): Attributes of the Business Analyst

Thinks Global while meeting local needs

Network mentality

Shows high interest in what is happening

all around the world

High interest in Professional Development

Highly developed soft skills

Conclusion

Stop being an Italian business analyst, think global while meeting local needs.

Constant learning is needed to survive in an

unstable environment.

The only environment in today’s world is Global
