Why develop your BA competency?
 In a study of 3,000 companies,
researchers at the University of
Pennsylvania found that spending
10% of revenue on capital
improvements boosts productivity
by 3.9%, but a similar investment in
developing human capital increases
productivity by 8.5% - more than
twice as much.
 People are the most critical
resource for knowledge driven
organizations.
 Better skills means better
productivity and better client
satisfaction – hence better business
results.

Can’t we learn on our own?
• A structured learning environment enhances learning process by a
factor of 10
• Reduces effort of learning by at least 5 times
• Participants learn from faculty as well as from each other
• Faculty has 12+ years experience in business analysis in multi-
country and multi-cultural environment – North America, Asia,
Europe - in several top-notch organizations such as IBM, Infosys,
PwC, iGate etc.
• Provides an opportunity to verify if the organization manages
business analysis activity in a similar manner or not
• Opportunity to learn and share best practices that may be hidden
inside the organization itself
• Many techniques developed which are from practical experience

Quotable quotes…..
• Learning is not
compulsory….neither is survival
- Edward Deming
• Losing market share, losing
confidence of customers, or
going out of business are not
punishments of God – they are
usually the results of an inability
to change and improve the way
things get done.

Competitive than ever before
Innovations at break neck speed
Demand for high Quality personnel increasing day by
