This interview with Richard Larson was recorded at the 2015 PMI Global Congress in Orlando, Florida. We discuss his paper and presentation "Entrepreneurial Business Analysis Practitioner" (Co-written with Elizabeth Larson). Here is the paper's introduction:

Given both authors are entrepreneurs and have done extensive business analysis work, it seems logical for us to write about this topic. But, why bother? What possibly could be relevant about entrepreneurialism for a business analyst or project manager? For starters, entrepreneurship is an increasingly attractive career option within an organization and as a start-up, and is more and more viable with each passing year. Even if we are not interested in forming a start-up, the principles of entrepreneurship are becoming increasingly important for organizations to innovate and stay competitive.

In this paper, we will explore several aspects of entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs and what it means for business analysis. Our firm belief is that by adopting a more entrepreneurial way of working, practitioners will be more effective and organizations will benefit.

(This interview was originally published on The Project Management Podcast.)

The FUTURE is already destined for 'Star-ups'. Governments across the globe robustly realizing the impact start-ups going to have on economies. An entrepreneur who masters BA art and science surely can't afford to look himself /herself part of some engagement for survival. Rather, they tend to target that bull which can kick the results far fast and fairly measurable.

Good paper on emerging needs and necessities of businesses!
