I also added &#8220;strategist&#8221; after &#8220;analyst&#8221;, meaning that I&#8217;m doing analysis for the purpose of strategic direction.  It&#8217;s interesting to think about how this will change over time, and the fact that there&#8217;s a blurring across these categories.  For example, is being an expert in a domain a pre-requisite for being a strategist?  It certainly helps, but there are people who simply have a good sense for trends and can easily see where the adoption challenges will typically be, regardless of the domain.  I&#8217;ll have to make a mental note to revisit this classification a year from now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James asked some of us EA bloggers to try to classify what we do on a daily basis.
