There is usually a fair bit of prototyping work involved as well. There's also a lot of listening involved, as you can't really design a good system without first talking to the people who are going to use the system and understanding their needs. In addition you'll need to listen to the folks who are going to be implementing the system as well so you get a feel for what they are good at and what they enjoy working on.
