As a qualified certified accountant and a personal development coach, on meeting Marie-Anne Ras , I asked her what she did for a living, to which she replied: """"I am a business analyst."""" After processing this in my mind, several meetings later, I sought clarification from her with regards what a business analyst does, to check whether my educated guess' was as accurate as I presumed. It wasn't If professionals need to regularly engage in continuing professional development (CPD) or else they hastily become obsolete in the market place, what does that say about the rest of us? De-Mystifying the Role of a Business Analyst is required reading to give us an idea and not an educated guess' of what business analysis' / business analyst' is as well as what is going on in the market place. The style makes it a simple, yet informative read, whereby you are no longer the ignoramus' that you may have been at the beginning. You owe it to yourself to enjoy the quick read given that it is better to be a fool for a minute than one for a lifetime.
