About The Webinar

Anushka and Zara have a theory that anthropologists and business analysts have a lot in common. They got to wondering if we’re actually business anthropologists.

In this webinar they will provide an overview of anthropology for those who aren’t familiar with the area, and point out some of the similarities in skills and tools that they’ve noticed.

They hope that by exploring this similarity, our profession can look to anthropology to learn new skills and expand our approaches.

This session will be interactive, and we invite you to comment on the theory and explore it further with us.
