Change Agents
Business Analysts are also referred
as Change Agents. Majority of the
individuals find this role very distressing
and even, bewildering. Most of the
business analysts are from finance or
Information Technology backgrounds,
with no formal or little training in human
resource, organizational development or
psychology. Eventually, they view the
related topics like change management as
incredibly blurry or fuzzy ones. In addition
to this, the topics of change management
usually involve higher uncertainty level,
which might go against the methodical
thinking pattern. This usually prefers
structure, predictability and order.
According to Fullan (2012), the business
analyst is implicitly or explicitly
responsible for the adoption of the
changed processes, technologies and
products within the organization, in a
successful manner.
Project Leader
The business analyst serves as one
of the major project leaders as he/she
works on the gaps or areas that have been
overlooked in the innovation or
transformation projects. A business analyst
directs more attention to several parts of
the business like integrating strategic
planning with the planning for technology
directions and information systems. The
business analysts also play a major role in
planning and monitoring the projects,
identifying stakeholder, estimating and
defining activities, monitoring the work
and other factors (Nixon, Harrington and
Parker 2012).
