The task of strategy analysis is to explore an organisation's future actions and identify the activities to meet those needs and avoid risk areas. When performing strategy analysis, business analysts shape the framework of requirements and examine the effect of certain changes.
Strategy analysis, in addition to identifying necessary changes in a business, will provide the stakeholders with information on how best to implement any changes. Strategy analysis should be considered an ongoing process where the effects of changes are kept under review, and if the strategy needs to be refocused, adjustments can be made.
Simultaneously defining the business need, the business analyst should also work on strategic planning so the stakeholders have better information to make decisions to futureproof the business. As it addresses the changes and future requirements, a strategy analysis must be performed throughout the entire project, and any new information may require adjustment, research, and further feedback.
The business analysis approach depends on the nature of the changes to be made. Sometimes, they may be clearly defined and lead to a projected outcome. Should the changes be less clearly defined, journey mapping sessions should be conducted to identify the pain points within the process, ready to marry up with both quantitative and qualitative feedback. The decisions made need to be mapped out alongside a feasible contingency strategy to ensure the stability of the project going forward.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the principles of strategic analysis.
- Use a Business Motivation Model.
- Match possible solutions and initiatives to the goals that have been set.
- Use enterprise architecture frameworks (EA) to determine how an organisation can achieve its future objectives.
- Identify and quantify business needs.
- Take the initiative from conception to the finished project.
- Identify risks that the changes may bring and create contingency plans.
- Ensure the feasibility of the project.
- Work out a business case for proposed changes.
- Define how it functions and other characteristics- solution scope.
The elements of our course are designed to train business professionals in using analytical tools to develop a feasible strategy that will raise a business to a higher level. It would be most beneficial for:
- Business Analysts
- Business Systems Analysts
- Company Advisors
- Change Managers
- Executive Managers
- Project Leaders
- Experts in Business
- Operations Managers
- Business Owners
This course uses various learning methods to develop an understanding and working knowledge of Strategic Analysis. Its focus is on implementing change to improve the business. Current methods and techniques are explained with focused presentations.
These are followed by practical sessions, during which participants will put theory into practice. Knowledge gained from the presentations will be applied to case studies and exercises, involving participants in group discussions with mentors and constructive feedback.
Day 5 of each course is reserved for a Q&A session, which may occur off-site. For 10-day courses, this also applies to day 10
