BECOME A BUSINESS ANALYST WHO CAN TAKE AN AMAZING IDEA FROM VISION TO REALITY BY UNDERSTANDING THE CURRENT STATE OF AN ORGANIZATION, WHAT THEIR FUTURE STATE COULD LOOK LIKE, AND HOW TO HELP THEM BRIDGE THAT GAP.

Use business analysis techniques to create and recommend the best strategies and solutions to help your organization meet its goals.

When an organization has a big idea but doesn’t have a clue how to bring it to life, it is your responsibility as a Business Analyst to help them bridge that gap…

And it’s my responsibility as The BA Guide to teach you how!

This course will take you through my 5-Step Strategy Analysis process

  1. Analyze the Current State – Learn how to determine where the organization is today so you’re able to move forward fully prepared.

  2. Define the Future State – Understand exactly how to define what a “successful result” is – in order to achieve success, you first need to understand what success looks like.

  3. Assess the Risks – Minimize possible pitfalls and stumbling blocks by identifying them early and taking them into consideration in your planning.

  4. Determine a Change Strategy – Learn how to consider all possible options and determine which to put forward as your recommendation – then, define a strategy for how you intend to make the change.

  5. Create a Business Case – Document all of the previous elements together in a persuasive and cohesive way that gets you approval to move forward with the project.

Within each step, you’ll learn the techniques, tools, and skills through the use of practical, real-world examples – meaning you won’t just understand the 5 steps, you’ll also know how to apply them.

Course enrollment grants you lifetime access, with no expiration, to all the course lectures, activities, handouts, and quizzes. In addition, you’ll also receive 1-on-1 support for any questions or uncertainties that come up. And this all comes with a money-back guarantee. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

“This is a great course! The real life examples are great for new or inexperienced BAs to connect to the theories taught to real world. A very comprehensive course and excited for the next courses in this series.” – Amy

“I am a college student that is studying science. Not once did I ever consider business as a career option for me. That goes to say I do not have a business background. However, Jeremy explains fully and in detail of each lecture perfectly to where I can understand. This is awesome.” – Sandhya

“Another great course in The BA Guide / Jeremy Aschenbrenner series. Although you can take this course individually, I highly recommend that anyone considering this course get the entire series and work through them sequentially. Well worth it.” – Liz

“Great quality work. I like how Jeremy brakes everything down, so it’s understandable even if you don’t have any background in the business analysis. Awesome courses!!!” – Oleg

“I’m in consulting and I have been able to compare what I’ve learned so far with the materials taught in the course and it’s great because I can pick up the concepts and look at my next projects with this approach. I recommend it for anyone that wants to get into consulting.” – Carlos

And if you’re still not sure – here’s my promise to you:

This course comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee! That means, if you aren’t completely satisfied with your purchase, I’ll give you a refund – no questions asked!

This course is the second course of the Business Analysis Process Series:

  1. Identify and Define the Problem

  2. => Conduct a Strategy Analysis <=

  3. Plan the Project

  4. Understand and Elicit Requirements

  5. Analyze, Model, and Organize Requirements

  6. Manage, Prioritize, and Validate Requirements
