We'd like to introduce you to INTERVIEW, the inaugural report of the state of business analysis in South Africa by BCMG in partnership with Saratoga. INTERVIEW asks questions about changes in your business or career trajectory. We conducted research, analysed the data and added infographics, all so that you can gain insight at the click of a button. Visit interview.businesschange.co.za to sign up to receive our findings as they are released.
INTERVIEW grew from a desire to better understand the broadening role of the business analyst, how they view themselves as well as their career aspirations. Saratoga takes a firm interest in the career path of our BA's, investing heavily in personal coaching and community building. "Business analysts are strategic change agents; delivering business value is their core role," explains INTERVIEW founder and Principle Consultant at Saratoga, Joe Newbert.
The portrait offers employers greater insight into the psychology of their BAs and can be used to assess the maturity of a competency. Business analysts themselves can form a greater understanding of the industry they're in, see where they fit and identify opportunities. As Newbert suggests, "understanding the potential of business analysis and providing the right support to the discipline is critical".
What does a typical South African business analyst look like? INTERVIEW has identified some fascinating trends - in age, gender, education, salary as well as deeper insights into their interests and outlook.
