Section 1
The premise
BA roles split into two tracks: report production (automating fast) vs decision support (more valuable). Career path matters.
What AI does well here
- Move from report production to decision support and recommendations
- Build storytelling skills that turn analysis into action
- Develop AI-augmented analysis capability (faster + deeper than peers)
- Cultivate executive relationships that drive decision-making
What AI cannot do
- Stay in pure report production indefinitely (it's automating fast)
- Substitute analytical complexity for decision impact
- Generate executive-relationship currency without doing the work
