Have you heard of #CharacterCrafting and how it can be used to build #resilience and #leadershipskills? In this enlightening #BABrew our special guest, Helen Holder, discusses the positive character traits and behaviours central to the BA role… and how we can develop and maintain them. Topics discussed include: the Personal Strength inventory; character vs. the cult of personality; identifying your character strengths and weaknesses; developing through practice; and the power of the Lego persona. Helen Holder has over 10 years’ experience working as a BA for public sector organisations. Passionate about elevating the BA profession, she volunteers with the IIBA UK Midlands chapter. #businessanalysis #businessanalysis #personalstrengthinventory #personaldevelopment

Another Business Analyst Apprenticeship success story! It was wonderful to be part of your journey Mercy A. (Mercy Agorh).👏👏👏 #BAApprenticeship #BA #ManagementConsulting #BusinessAnalysis #success
We like to do things a bit differently at CMC. We don’t believe that a one size solution fits all the needs of our clients. And we don’t believe that one size fits all when it comes to our people. We positively encourage and embrace the diversity of thought, backgrounds, educations, and industries that shape our team, and which bring different and valuable perspectives to both our company and our clients. To celebrate our talent and showcase the different routes to becoming a successful management consultant, meet one of our newest team members, Mercy A.. At the start of this year Mercy joined our Business Analysis apprenticeship programme, supported by AssistKD and sponsored by Coventry City Council - her learning and development has seen her recently promoted to junior consultant level. Here she shares how she has grown as a business analyst in the last year, along with her highlights and learnings on the apprenticeship so far. #BusinessAnalysis #Apprenticeships #ManagementConsulting
