Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe. (A. Lincoln)
Today many enterprises are committed in facing important challenges: Speed, Flexibility, Innovation, Change, Competition are only few words that we keep hearing every day over and over.
Business Analysis is the discipline that brings the intelligence behind these words, as it teaches enterprises to know themselves and the surrounding reality, to understand deeply the needs of their stakeholders (customers above all), to create solution to fulfill these needs, to define priorities and objectives, to become better prepared for the future challenges. To be Fast, enterprises must have the intelligence to understand and act rapidly, according to the principle “work smarter, not harder”. To be Flexible and Change, enterprises must know and understand the ecosystems in which they operate (which are evolving continuously), the stakeholders and their needs (which are evolving continuously too), and have the capabilities to adapt rapidly and sustainably. To be Innovative, it is not sufficient for enterprises to have great ideas, they need to understand and master the business models behind these ideas, build the business and make it growth. All these capabilities imply an important decision making effort, as the margin of error is minimal.
