Investing in high-quality business analysis training is not just about individual professional development; it’s a strategic decision that can drive significant improvements across the organisation. Studies have shown that inadequate training leads to costly rework, project delays and failed initiatives. In contrast, equipping business analysts with the right tools and techniques ensures better decision-making, smoother project execution and a higher return on investment.

How Poor Business Analysis is Costing Your Organisation

Poorly defined requirements and inadequate analysis are among the leading causes of project failure. Research by The Standish Group found that nearly 70% of projects fail or struggle due to unclear requirements.

Similarly, industry studies indicate that rework can account for up to 12% of project costs, significantly impacting profitability. Organisations that prioritise business analysis training can mitigate these risks, ensuring that business needs are effectively captured and translated into successful outcomes.

3 Ways Business Analysis Training Saves You Time and Money

The BCS Practitioner Certificate in Business Analysis Practice course is designed to provide both immediate and long-term benefits to organisations by:

1. Enhancing Business Efficiency

Equipping business analysts with structured methods and proven techniques ensures that projects start with a clear understanding of business needs. This reduces ambiguity, enhances stakeholder engagement and improves overall project efficiency.

  • Access to comprehensive course notes means analysts have a reliable reference throughout their careers;
  • Knowledge checks reinforce learning, ensuring that key principles are understood and applied effectively;
  • A corporate case study allows participants to see real-world applications of business analysis techniques.

2. Reducing Rework and Costly Errors

Organisations that invest in structured business analysis training see a direct reduction in rework and misalignment between business needs and project delivery.

  • The course includes three sample papers with solutions to help analysts develop problem-solving skills and critical thinking;
  • A mock exam with an overall percentage mark ensures analysts are well-prepared to apply their knowledge effectively;
  • Training ensures that business analysis techniques are applied consistently across all projects, minimising risks and errors.

3. Maximising ROI with Business Analysis Training

Organisations that upskill their teams with business analysis training see tangible financial benefits. According to research, businesses that regularly invest in employee training reduce rework costs by 11–22%, demonstrating that the initial investment in training leads to long-term savings.

Better analysis leads to more accurate business cases, ensuring senior decision-makers have the information needed to approve the most viable initiatives.
