Good comments. Your "speak the same language" idea is quite similar to my notion of being a translator - because I don't know that they'll ever truely speak the same language!

Laura - I always use the analogy of being the architect for a house too....however, what about the almost textbook answer of being "a bridge between business and IT"?

Other expression would be: "I try to make the business and technology talk the same language" What about "I'm the compiler of business needs"?. Not everybody will get it, but sounds good for us in the middle of business and technology. Nice post Jonathan. FC. I help companies to define how business needs should be satisfied.

What about "I'm the compiler of business needs"?. Not everybody will get it, but sounds good for us in the middle of business and technology.

Nice post Jonathan.

Depending on whom I'm talking to, I might use "I'm a technology consultant"...you can typically tell from the facial expression if the person wants to know more or if "technology" is enough. I typically tell family and friends that I'm like an architect for a house ... I help people decide what they want before they pay people to build it. Excellent post, Jonathan.
