AI Workflow Automation & Operational Systems for Events, Hospitality, and Growth-Stage Operations I’ve spent 12 years producing 300+ events and a decade leading enterprise-scale operations, building systems that saved 100K+ hours and $5M+ in measurable value. Across events, hospitality, and operations teams, the problem is consistent: Manual coordination scales with volume instead of becoming more efficient. Event teams manage 50+ vendors per event using disconnected tools. Hospitality managers solve workforce scheduling constraints manually each week. Operations teams re-enter data across systems, reconcile discrepancies, build reports from scattered sources, and waste hours searching for information across platforms that don’t integrate. I build AI-powered systems, automation workflows, and production-grade platforms that eliminate operational friction. At The McBurney Group, I design and implement: • AI agents and intelligent automation workflows • System integration and cross-platform orchestration • Workforce scheduling automation • Meeting intelligence and document processing systems • Operational dashboards and reporting automation • Custom-built AI production applications 100+ workflows and automation systems deployed across events, hospitality, and operational environments. Industry Focus Events Vendor coordination automation, timeline generation, budget intelligence, and communication workflows for event companies and independent planners. Hospitality Workforce scheduling systems, compliance tracking, turnover reduction, and operational efficiency builds for hotels, venues, and restaurants. Growth-Stage Operations Meeting intelligence, knowledge retrieval systems, document automation, workflow orchestration, and AI-driven process optimization for coordination-heavy businesses. I came from operations and learned to build with AI, not the other way around. Most automation initiatives fail when technology is implemented without redesigning workflow reality. I architect complete systems where AI agents, workflows, platforms, and people work together. I build implemented solutions, not theoretical strategies.

How to Hire Top Business Planners

How to hire business planning analysts

Need to gather requirements from stakeholders, generate business forecasts, and create a plan for meeting your business goals? A business planning analyst can help. 

So how do you hire business planning analysts? What follows are some tips for finding top business planning analysts on Upwork. 

How to shortlist business planning analysis professionals

As you’re browsing available business planning analysis consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the contractors you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a business planning analyst who understands your industry so they can develop the right business strategy for your needs. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., using Excel pivot tables to analyze data). 
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular business planning analyst.

How to write an effective business planning analysis job post

With a clear picture of your ideal business planning analyst in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective business planning analysis job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From business plans to stakeholder management, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or marketing channels, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

BUSINESS PLANNING ANALYSTS FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is business planning analysis? 

Business planning analysis is the practice of using business intelligence to develop and implement plans, processes, and procedures within an organization. The business planning analyst will also often serve as a liaison between the various stakeholders and departments within a company. 

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in business planning analysis consultants:

  • Business planning, development, and analysis
  • Strong written and verbal communication
  • Business, technical, financial, and/or legal writing
  • Business modeling and forecasting

Why hire business planning analysts?

The trick to finding top business planning analysts is to identify your needs. Do you need someone simply to draft a basic business plan? Or do you also need help documenting and generating risk-mitigation procedures? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life. 

How much does it cost to hire a business planning analyst?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced business planning analyst may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their business planning analysis services more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
