Being A Biz Analyst

Biz Analyst Moments: Stakeholder type switching from my experience. You might be thinking this Adam sounds a little ridiculous, I cannot imagine a person switching roles as much as he is talking about. Or maybe you are thinking, maybe he switches roles but I do not see it happening in my own experience. Hopefully, this episode will give you insight into not only how much I have had the experience of role switching, but also help you to begin to identify just how much you too are switching stakeholder types and the importance of doing so. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/being-a-biz-analyst/message
