Critical Thinking in Business Analysis
Five percent of the people think; Ten percent of the people think they
think; and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.
- Thomas A. Edison
In November 2014, a local IT company was the host of an event dedicated to
Testers: Rapid Software Testing. At the end of this event, for a day, the
speaker tackled a rare subject for the IT industry, but important for testers
and analysts: Critical Thinking. The trainer of the event was Michael Bolton
(not the singer!), a well-known figure in the Testing Industry. Although the
event was directed towards Testers, some of the information regarding Critical
Thinking applies to Business Analysts as well.
