Blogs for Business Analysts and Systems Analysts

Community Highlights



New Blogs Announcement!!!
Modern Analyst has revamped our blogs to provide greater value to you! Two new blog pages have been created. Follow the links below to access the new blog pages or access them directly via our top navigation menu.
You can still access our Original Blog Posts below.
 
Our Community Blog puts a different spin on our original blog page. Instead of each community member creating a separate blog, all community members have the opportunity to contribute their very own blog posts to a single community blog. This provides greater benefit to both the bloggers and readers. Some of these benefits are:
  • Viewers can RSS the Community Blog by a specific blog post author
  • Many members contributing to a single blog attracts more viewers, increasing the readership for all bloggers
  • Blog contributors can give more time and attention to each blog post since no single blogger has to provide continuous content to keep the blog fresh
  • The Community Blog gives bloggers the opportunity to make a name and brand for themselves in the business analysis profession
  • Community Blog contributors may be extended an invitation to become a blogger for the Modern Analyst blog
Our Modern Analyst Blog features blog posts from pre-selected Modern Analyst bloggers, many of which are influential contributors that are shaping the business analysis profession. In addition, the most intersting and insightful Community Blog posts are selected by the Modern Analyst team to be added to the Modern Analyst Blog.
 
While our original blogs and blog posts will remain available for viewing, community members will only be able to contribute new blog posts to the Community Blog. The Community Blog and Modern Analyst Blog have been seeded with blog posts from the original blog page.
