Modelling business processes is a key business analysis skill. I provide training in how to apply the BPMN modelling standard to effectively capture complex process logic in an elegant way.
Information modelling
Information modelling is used by BAs to identify system requirements, revealing the connections between entities, their attributes, and the rules that govern their connections. Better Business Analysis offers training on how to create Entity Relationship Diagrams and UML Class Diagrams, as well as how to use these in requirements definition activity.

Business analysts help organisations decide on which changes and solutions to pursue, and formulating a sound business case is an essential skill. Better Business Analysis can show you how to construct a holistic, reliable business case, including investment appraisal and feasibility assessment, as well as guidance on presenting to senior decision-makers.

I can teach you how to analyse customers’ needs and shape products and services to meet these using the Value Proposition Canvas.
Creative thinking
Business analysts help organisations identify potential solutions to business problems; Better Business Analysis can equip you with a range of fun and interactive creative thinking techniques you use with stakeholders to generate plenty of ideas.
