What Does an Analyst Do? More Than Numbers and Charts

[datarecovee]

When one thinks of the analyst he/she thinks about spreadsheets and charts but the truth is more than that. What does an analyst do? They challenge assumptions, formulate hypotheses and discover trends that influence the course of business. Analysts may be specialized in finance, marketing or data but their final aim is the same to answer why things occur and how they can be improved. Their job is a mixture of a combination of analytical thinking and communication to bring out simplicity in the midst of complexity.
