Thank you for visiting the Trusted BA. Why the name?

I have been a consulting business analyst for the last five years. A seminal text on consulting and professional services is “The Trusted Advisor” by David Maister, Charles Green and Robert Galford. This book was suggested to me at the start of my consulting career and is “essential reading for anyone who must advise, negotiate or manage complex business relationships“.

Maister describes how a trusted advisor is characterised by both the breadth of business issues they can advise on, and the depth of the personal relationships with their client.

How better to describe the role of a business analyst? So, The Trusted BA it is.
