Business Analysis as a state of mind
summary
Starts in an automotive factory doing CAD for machines and robots, signs off a major installation contract, then shifts to investment banking where a black‑screen model hides a critical bug that is found a model failure after three meetings and fixed; experiments replace quarter releases with three‑week iterations that reduce waterfall and improve delivery; Confluence is adopted across India/Poland/UK/US to stop unused features, documentation chaos, and repeated Excel/C++ legacy traps; uses BA thinking to write simple user instructions and to craft precise ChatGPT prompts for code.
