Erin Brockovich: The Business Analyst

Recently I saw Erin Brockovich for the nth times (yes I can't remember how many times I have seen Erin Brockovich). It is needless to say that it is a great movie but at the same time it teaches you so much about how to go about your work. erin brockovich Business Analysis Blog Tarun ChandelHow can we Business Analysts learn from Erin Brockovich and perform our tasks better:

  • When you get a business case or a business problem investigate a bit further, just like erin did. 
  • Talk to people, visit them understand their problem. 
  • If the business is new for you talk to the subject matter experts no matter from where you get hold of them. Talk to them try to understand the business and the industry. 
  • Get involved in the project and keep the positive energy flowing. Be available for others to come and communicate with you. 
  • Always be aligned to the client, even when you are talking about their costs. 
  • Always take time out to build relationships with the client, it pays a lot. 
  • There will be resistance from some people in the client take that in your stride. 
  • Continue doing your good work and the resistance will melt away. 
  • Take good care of your loved ones, take time out for them as they are the ones who are going to keep your lifeline going on. You don't want to lose them.

    Till,

    The key questions I'd ask can be divided into 3 groups--each of which should include questions about experience, knowledge, and skills (in that order): (1) business analysis,(2) general business, and (3) Fundamental (sometimes called 'soft' skills).

    Yeah taking care of your relationships is very important. You can't give to other people unless you have something yourself.
