Applied Methods of Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Training Course

Business analysis is the process of investigating, understanding, and defining business needs in order to develop solutions that meet those needs. It is a key element in the change management process within an organization and in the design of new business solutions. The goal of business analysis is to ensure that technological, process, or organizational solutions align with business goals and needs. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the success of projects and organizational changes by ensuring that implemented solutions are accurate, feasible, and fully meet business requirements.

This workshop is tailored for seasoned Business Analysts, Product Owners, and User Researchers aiming to master sophisticated techniques that generate tangible business value. Through practical exercises and real-world tools, participants will learn to dissect complex data, streamline processes, engage key stakeholders, and convert strategic goals into actionable outcomes using OKRs. Upon completion, attendees will possess a well-defined toolkit designed to amplify impact and achieve quantifiable results.

This course delves into the essential role of the business analyst in achieving success within Agile environments. Participants will learn how to effectively collaborate with the development team, Product Owner, Scrum Master, and customers to streamline the development process. The curriculum includes a simulated project where attendees can practice handling common scenarios encountered in Agile settings.

This instructor-led, live training in Norway (online or onsite) is designed for individuals at beginner, intermediate, or advanced levels who wish to use generative AI tools to support the daily work of a business analyst, including analysis, documentation, information structuring, and stakeholder communication.

This instructor-led, live training in Norway (online or onsite) targets beginner-level, intermediate-level, and advanced-level individuals who wish to integrate Strategic Agility and Quality Assurance, ensuring that quality becomes a catalyst for strategy rather than a hurdle, and that agility is grounded in repeatable, high-quality processes.

In modern business, organisations often face a "Trade-off Paradox": the faster they try to adapt to market changes, the more their quality standards tend to slip. Conversely, rigid quality processes often slow down innovation.

Strategic Agility addresses the problem of organisational "inertia"—the inability to react to environmental volatility. Quality Assurance addresses the risks of "process decay" during rapid scaling or pivoting. 

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp the concept of strategic agility.
• Link strategy with operational activities.
• Identify areas requiring quality control.
• Apply basic quality assurance mechanisms.
