Business Analysis Fundamentals

The process of translating a strategic plan into actionable elements begins with professional business analysis – i.e., capturing, refining, confirming, and prioritizing the needs to be satisfied by a project or program. Unfortunately, the care, discipline, and effort required for thorough upfront analysis is too often viewed as optional. Eagerness to begin work frequently results in premature efforts based on inadequate or inaccurate information. The result is all too familiar: poor quality, avoidable risk, rework, or even failure. During six all-day sessions over a period of four weeks, participants will explore and practice key business analysis activities, culminating in the creation of a professional-level requirements document for use in any organization – commercial, non-profit, or government.

Instructors: Michael Zambruski and Jacques Lagasse
Typically (6) 8-hour sessions

Steering Strategy to Success

Strategy sets the enterprise direction, business analysis translates that direction into actionable scope, and project management either fulfills the scope or shows how the scope and underlying strategy need to be reexamined. This means that successfully developing and implementing strategy requires leadership at different levels of an organization. All parties need to understand each other’s perspectives, challenges, and roles and then regularly interact with each other to ensure alignment, efficiency and feasibility.

Participants learn how strategy works at multiple levels of an organization and how to leverage this to steer organizational and professional success. Participants prepare individual plans of action, working with a personal coach in a hands-on approach to enterprise success.
