A great BBC Bitesize piece by tech expert Christina Lovelock busts the myth that tech is all coding — and features the business analyst as one of five roles that don't involve writing code. It's described as a brilliant role for people who are "always curious." Sound familiar?
Well worth a read if you're a student, graduate, or considering a move into the profession.

Using the playful metaphor of Snakes and Ladders, Karthik shares a practical approach to the unpredictable setbacks and breakthroughs of stakeholder engagement — covering empathy-led communication, reflective journaling, AI-assisted insights, and knowing when to escalate.
