These boundaries can be technological, cultural, behavioural or commercial. The mainstay of their work is ensuring businesses are fit for these frontiers, in one way or another.

We need someone who can articulate their ideas in a concise and succinct manner. You’ll be able to write compelling arguments as well as wow a room full of senior executives.
Some of their solutions will impact on a company’s business model and organisational structure and you’ll be tasked with creating a business case for specific solutions, this should awaken your business analyst side.
You will need to bring a sound attitude to the team and be willing to really get stuck into problems and navigate clever ways through them.
