So what is a business analyst?

One of the questions we are often asked is "So what does a business analyst do?"

The simple answer is we translate the business need into a language that can be used to design and implement the business solution. Translating from ‘business speak‘ to ‘solution provider language‘ - whether the provider is IT or some other solution, for example process improvements. We work with internal and third party suppliers tailoring our methods and approach to the situation we find ourselves in. A business analyst also produces creative solutions to business problems. At Positive, we balance creativity with practicality when producing solutions to problems.

Business briefs

We give a rapid assessment of the business idea or problem and the business impact that a project might have - both good and bad.

Feasibility Study

We identify a number of solution options and make recommendations for moving forward.

Business Design

We detail what the solution for a problem looks like in business terms - we look at the problem / opportunity. This involves identifying the root causes of the problem and detailing any changes such as: New Processes, Organisational Changes, Impact On People (numbers, skills, reporting structures), Impact On Customer Experience and High Level descriptions of changes to IT Systems.

Business Requirements Specification

Whether it’s high level or detail that’s needed. Positive are experts in Requirements Engineering. We help organisations produce quality business documentation, ensuring that any solution provider knows what is required of them.
assessment

Assessment of new and current business analysts to determine fit with organisational profile. This gives our clients the comfort that they have the right people in place to deliver the required change initiatives. Whether contract or permanent, the assessment and recruitment of new analysts is a time consuming and costly exercise.

Positive undertake this task on behalf of client organisations. this allows them to concentrate their time and resources on projects, but ultimately reduce cost.

By using Positive methodology, we can also reduce the risk of analysts not fitting into your way of doing things.

Positive use a three-stage approach to profiling analysts using the tools below:

Skills Based Questionnaires: Identifies the type and grade of expertise

Analysis Exercises: Assesses analysis approach to profiling adopted and application of skill.

Capability Based Interviews: Before we make any recommendations, we speak to prospective candidates to ensure that they have the requisite capabilities to deliver change in our clients' organisation.
