Course overview

Business analysts identify organisational needs and evaluate possible solutions. They model the processes involved and communicate findings to support decisions. This five-day workshop combines theory with practice for delegates entering the field or formalising knowledge gained through work. Stakeholder engagement informs the analysis and its contribution to organisational goals.

The three modules follow a logical sequence. The first establishes what business analysis is and what the role requires, including the analytical thinking skills that underpin the work. The second takes delegates through the analytical problem-solving process: defining and structuring a problem, gathering and analysing data, and forming conclusions. The third focuses on how to present those results, covering data visualisation, analytical storytelling and evidence-based decision-making.

Exercises provide hands-on practice in deriving, documenting and analysing actions. Practical case studies support the application of business analysis principles to workplace scenarios.

Course objectives

By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

  1. Explain an analyst's core responsibilities and why stakeholder needs require prioritisation
  2. Elicit requirements and use process models to identify potential improvements
  3. Evaluate possible solutions and communicate the findings to stakeholders
