    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Business Analyst on strategy focused consulting projects. Day to day this can look quite different. Majority of the time I am using Powerpoint and Excel to produce work. There is a lot of creativity required in solving problems and presenting these solutions back
