So, after a number of years, I’ve finally gotten around to relaunching BA Insight.

BA Insight will serve as a place to talk “unofficially” about business analysis and other topics of interest to me. Over the last couple of years I’ve felt a certain pressure to make sure my posts on IIBA were in keeping with my official role. Some people seem to get uncomfortable when the guy responsible for the BABOK Guide expresses a firm opinion about things that disagrees with theirs. Most times, that stems from a concern that their views will be dismissed by IIBA. I’ve had a lot of practice separating my personal views from my work for IIBA, though. Nevertheless, I think it’s best that I express those views on a “personal” channel.

I’ve pulled in many of my old posts from the IIBA SLT Blog, deleting those that were pure status updates or the like. Official IIBA stuff will continue to be blogged about on the IIBA Community Network, and of course some things will be cross-posted.

This site will also serve as a home for my business. Yes, I work for IIBA but it’s as a contractor, not an employee, and it’s not my sole source of income. I don’t do work that would conflict with my IIBA responsibilities, but I am available for other short-term consulting engagements or for side projects that can be done part-time. Drop me a line if you want to know more.

Other than that, I look forward to getting back into the stream of blogging again.
