Business Analysts to Follow on LinkedIn
As the Optimistic BA, I am constantly growing my network about something business analysis related. I am a mentor, trainer, coach, leader, communicator, connector, and a great listener. People who I don’t know well choose to share personal issues with me as their trusted confidant.
Why am I promoting Ten Other BAs to follow on LinkedIn? None of us are experts at everything. Sometimes I have met a BA reaching out for help who needs resources outside of my expertise. and my goal is for this list to be a tremendous resource of ten BAs that I highly recommend, who all have a wide variety of specialties.
This group has proficiencies and expertise in several areas including Business Analysis, Project Management, and change. In addition, there is also Agile, Data Analysis, and more. The people on this list are all-around good people. The kind of people your children can look up to. This is rare in today’s world.
This blog is about five of the BAs from this group. Later this week, another blog will be published about the rest of the group.
