The Better Business Analyst Podcast

BA Bites - “The Business wants this......”


Listen Later

But “the business” isn’t a person.
It doesn’t make decisions.
And it certainly doesn’t own the consequences.

In this episode, Benjamen breaks down why abstract language like “the business needs” quietly destroys accountability, hides real trade-offs, and leads to bloated, expensive solutions.

You’ll learn:

  • Why vague language is a red flag in analysis and strategy

  • How “the business” masks customer impact, revenue decisions, and risk

  • The real role of a Business Analyst as a decision enabler—not a note taker

  • Practical language shifts that instantly improve clarity and outcomes

If you’re tired of unclear requirements, endless compromise, and projects that drift, this episode will change how you listen in meetings—and how you respond.

It starts with customers, revenue, and risk.
