The business environment of today is more complex than it used to be. Political and regulatory changes are taking place rapidly, affecting the way how business operation must be carried out. Technology and connectivity have become the norm, that businesses must be online to stay relevant and to keep in touch with consumers. Likewise, the shopping preferences of customers are also changing, requiring unique goods, services and marketing approaches targeted to their needs.

With these dramatic changes, it is more critical for companies to be prepared. Those that are able to thrive and grow in this complicated time are those that know how to make effective use of business analysis for seeking out opportunities, determining issues and implementing the best solutions that meet their objectives.

Business analysis is a discipline that is concerned with helping businesses determine the needs and issues they are facing and formulate and implement ideas and solutions to address those needs and issues and to drive the business forward.
