Well I actually mean that literally!. I did geology at Uni. and as a consequence still have a look at the old rocks when on holiday.
When you are close up to rock formations on the beach trying to understand what the structure is it gets difficult. Look back at the bay from the cliff path and things become quite obvious very quickly.
What has this muse of the Lower Paleozoic of Pembrokeshire got to do with business architecture?
I sadly thought while walking the coastal path last week that this is just like analysts and architects. Analysts often stand too close to the "rocks" and do measurements in attempt to understand whats going on while architects stand back and see the bigger picture.
The ultimate ability or competence is to do both; which in my experience it is difficult to find individuals that can successfully achieve both.
