Business Analysis: Key Definitions & Strategy Analysis

STARWEAVER connects key business-analysis definitions with strategy analysis. The published outcomes include concept modeling, requirements analysis and assessment of current and future states. This course can help learners make their terminology and reasoning explicit before presenting a recommendation, rather than relying on an attractive solution description alone.

What you will learn

• Explain central business-analysis concepts.
• Compare a current state with a desired future state.
• Develop a reasoned strategic recommendation.

Who this suits

Intermediate-level course with no strict prerequisites; basic business concepts and organizational knowledge may help.

Before you enroll

Use a fictional business case for practice. Compare the evidence behind a proposed change with its assumptions, and check how you would evaluate the result before recommending implementation.
