Business Analysis Mode: Stuck On (feat. Stu Mullinger)

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.
