Business analysis masterclass
Business analysts are problem solvers. This much is certain.
Companies need your help to grow! But where do you start looking?
What once you have found a problem?
In this track of four half days, learn how to approach a business analysis from start to finish in the best possible way!
Asking why you do business analysis is the same as asking why we solve problems in our business. Unfortunately, many companies are behind the times. Putting out fires, we call it. We want more and so do you, we are sure!
A good business analyst helps solve problems, seize opportunities or, in short, helps the company grow. So that's a lot more than putting out fires. You will have to look for the cause of the fire, figure out how to avoid it ever happening again and even look for opportunities to come out better after the fire than when you started!
I say it often. Business analysts are the real heroes of an organisation. So you can become one too!
This course will equip you with the necessary tools, techniques and methodologies to become a successful business analyst.
As a business analyst, you are a problem solver.
But how do you discover these problems? And how to proceed when a problem is discovered?
During this blended masterclass, you'll learn about the required tools, techniques and methodologies to become a skilled business analyst!
In this course you will:
- Learn the standardised approach for a business analysis
- Learn the difference between a business and functional analysis
- Learn to identify, manage, prioritise and estimate business requirements
- Master stakeholder identification and analysis, ideation and problem analysis
- Apply techniques such as story mapping and process modelling.
Schedule a training?
The self-study moments are quite diverse. Sometimes you will be expected to take an online course on The Master Channel between live sessions (such as the ‘How to find a better problem to solve’ course). In other modules, you might have to prepare a small assignment that you will then cover with the lecturer during the next live session.
We organise the live sessions both online or at location (Kontich). The specific sessions of a training course mention in which way the sessions are organized. In the live sessions, you practice the techniques and tools you learn throughout the training. In a classroom (offline) session, participants should bring their own laptop.
To make best use of the live sessions, you are expected to follow the online courses and prepare assignments independently.
