Business Analysis Mode: Stuck On (feat. Stu Mullinger)
Episode notes
Once you learn business analysis skills, do they ever really switch off?
In this episode of BA Brew, Mike, Ruth, Kerry and Stu discuss how BA thinking becomes embedded into everyday life - shaping how we solve problems, make decisions and interact with others.
The discussion covers:
- Why BA skills naturally carry over into everyday situations
- Real-life examples of using BA thinking outside of work
- When analysis and problem-solving can be unhelpful
- The risk of “analysis paralysis”
- How to recognise when to switch off BA mode
- Techniques like circles of control, root cause thinking and options analysis in daily life
- The importance of empathy, presence and reading the room
Whether you're a business analyst, change professional or team leader, this episode offers practical insights into balancing analytical thinking with real-world human situations.
