Part of my job as a Business Analyst, it is my responsibility to facilitate business process analysis meetings with a group of very knowledgeable folks. As I stood in front of my audience, I couldn't stop thinking: "What if I don't understand what is going on here? What if I can't comprehend the issues at hand? What if i steer this group to an outcome that is completely irrelevant to the issues at hand?" I was hired in the public health industry at the time and prior to that, I worked in the gaming industry, healthcare, computer software and hardware.


I started out the meeting with the objectives and outcomes of the meeting and proceeded to asking them a high level question: "What is the objective for Activity #1" (We had already brainstormed on the various actives performed in the public health arena); which started a discussion in the room full of PhD, Directors, and a few MPh.
