If the BA can't see the bigger picture, they might as well be a 'business analyst' with blinders on. Systems thinking is the way to go!

Problem solving is important, but it's not the whole picture. BAs need to have a more holistic view to really understand the enterprise.

D. Systems thinking is definitely the way to go. A BA needs to be able to see the forest, not just the trees. Otherwise, they'll miss the bigger context.

Conceptual thinking sounds like the right answer. BAs need to be able to grasp the abstract relationships between different parts of the organization.

I think systems thinking is key for a BA to understand the big picture. It's not just about solving individual problems, but seeing how everything fits together.
