Business Analysis for Non Business Analysts
Course Description
Overview
Understanding business process, pain points, and opportunities for improvement is everyone's job, even if your title isn't “business analystâ€. Being able to create efficiencies, reduce costs, and effectively communicate are professional skills that can be used in any position.
Business Analysis for Non Business Analysts will help participants sharpen their ability to think critically, look at the big picture as well as drill down into the details. They will learn how to properly initiate, analyse and develop a conceptual design within a 2 day timeframe. Replete with both “hard†and “soft†skills, this course builds a sound strategy for analysing business processes and demonstrates how to apply concepts and practical techniques within the context of an experiential learning environment.
This course is consistent with definitions and principles from the IIBAs Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK® Guide).
