Today, few things are more useful for your career and your organisation than you learning how to better integrate IT with Business knowledge and skills. This is the one course that will start you on the way to being able to comfortably deal with both business management/user and IT management/staff, no matter which side you are currently working on at the moment. There has always been a noticeable gap between the requirements of the business and the perceived ability of IT to deliver on time and on budget, to the satisfaction of both parties. We are now in the “transition stage” of the evolution of IT and of business. This problem must be tackled, and we need to do it NOW in order to remain relevant.
OBASHI is a methodology, a way of thinking that will help you create a visual map that show: The methodology allows you to anticipate issues and challenges which can prevent, or can help a business achieving its goals. The BASA course teaches the OBASHI methodology as a real methodology that you can learn quickly and that you can get an internationally recognised certification (via optional external exam). After this, you can, if your organisation so chooses, easily pick up other methodologies. BSAM (Business and Systems Analysis Modeling) in brief. Modeling is the basis of all kinds of analysis. Think of the ubiquitous spreadsheet (eg MS Office Excel). It is used by almost everyone to do "what-if" analysis on numbers. For example, "What if I increase my selling price by five percent; will this result in higher or lower expected profits?". We just don't normally think of the task as modeling. Business analysis also perform "what-if", although it will require a lot more tools/techniques than the spreadsheet. How do you know that you have considered most, if not all, the user requirements - especially if they did not tell you most of it? Modeling! We need to be able to ask, and to answer, questions like "What if we put this application on the cloud; in what way will our systems need to change?". or "If we go ahead with the proposed change in company policy, what work is required by IT, and what is the impact on the companys business operations in terms of people and bottom-line?". This sort of ability taught in the course will make you very comfortable in dealing with senior management and cross-department colleagues because you can now provide them with quick answers to their questions. And you too can ask the right questions at the right time. Business Systems Models are representations of various aspects of the business, both IT-enabled and manual, that allow us to test out alternative answers to these types of questions, safely and quickly. As an IT professional, or a business change leader (e.g. Project Manager), you will be able to increase your effectiveness many folds, by knowing, and applying the main system modeling techniques taught in the BASA2 course. All the modeling techniques taught are Best-practice, mainstream, used and proven over many years by people, organisations and methodologies.
