Every day I try to learn something new, be it related to my career (Business Analysis), games or research about different things. There are hundreds of informative sites and articles (sadly I don't have time to read them all).
This week it was all about learning new things related to business analysis and the best place for that (in my opinion) is the IIBA website. There I read an article titled "The Business of Business Analysis" by Maureen McVey. In this article she has referred to another articled published in 'The Houston Chronicle' (link to the article). This article discusses the top 5 transferable skills, which are:
- Communications Skills
- Interpersonal Skills
- Technical Skills
- Research and Analytical Skills
- Organizational Skills
