Strategy analysis identifies the business needs (problem or opportunities) of tactical or strategic importance to the organization and supports the organization in responding to those needs. It provides the focus upon which all other business analyst efforts must align. Shortcutting strategy analysis often results in delivering solutions that are misaligned to the organization’s strategy and to the expectations and needs of the business. This course will help you understand the criticality of defining the business need correctly and pursuing a thorough analysis of the internal and external environments of the enterprise before assisting the organization in selecting the best solution. You will also learn the key activities needed in strategy analysis, the key components in building and communicating a strong business case and how to evaluate the value of the solution once it is implemented. To help assimilate the tools and techniques learned, there is a mixture of individual and team exercises throughout the course. Students will need to be prepared for a high level of participation. Each participant will receive a comprehensive student guide complete with examples, handouts and a business case template that can be used back on the job. Note: This course has been approved by PMI for 14 PDUs and IIBA for 14 CDUs.
