Today’s business environment is characterized by an accelerated demand for qualified people to help identify, analyze and design improvements to business performance, often through technology supported business systems.

Have your organization’s performance improvement initiatives or technology rollouts failed to meet the intended business needs? Or have the projects that have been undertaken achieved some performance improvements, but at double and triple original cost estimates? It’s time to reverse this all too common trend.

According to the Standish Group, incomplete business requirements are most often identified as the primary reason for this dismal record. An effective business analyst can help to turn this around. As organizations race to adopt the potential benefits of technology to their business performance, the demand for qualified, effective business analysts outstrips supply. In meeting this growing demand, inexperienced analysts are often engaged to fill the positions available.
