Analysis – the other side of the fence to design

11/10/2016 | By IRM Training
0

Analysis is an important part of life here at IRM and we like to help keep our readers up to date. Last month’s IRM newsletter featured an article focusing on the value-add a business analyst can provide by designing business solutions for their clients.     But before you can design anything, you need to understand what the problem is. Whatever technique you might use – interviewing, observation, process decomposition, root cause analysis – you have to live up to the…

What do Business Analysts and Graphic Designers have in common?

16/03/2016 | By IRM Training
0

This month’s article returns to a theme relevant to all business analysts – visual communication. I don’t mean putting text on PowerPoint slides, instead it’s about using diagrams and sketches to understand as-is systems and to explore to-be solutions.

05/08/2015 | By IRM Training
0

To answer this question we need to understand what business value actually is. As an employee, adding value can translate into improving processes, providing better customer service, reducing time to market, delivering better products/services. However to a shareholder or company owner there’s only one value metric – increased profits. This is achieved by selling more or spending less. It’s not for nothing that most CEOs have a sales or accounting background. That’s not to say that business analysts need sales…

User Stories & The Jungle Book

24/04/2015 | By IRM Training

Back in 1902, a collection of stories and poems for children – the Just So Stories written by Rudyard Kipling – was published. For those of you struggling to place Rudyard Kipling, he was the author of The Jungle Book. Check out the Disney movie of the same name if you’re still not sure – or ask your children! Kipling knew a thing or two about the written language. Tucked away in one of the Just So Stories were a group of words which have…

How to Manage Client Expectations

29/07/2014 | By IRM Training

It’s funny how often things we say can come back and bite us. Has this ever happened to you? We’re all guilty of sometimes hearing what we want to hear – but when it’s a client, is it their fault or ours? Now there’s not a lot you can do to change how other people interpret information, so let’s assume the onus is on us to make sure this doesn’t occur. We need to be crystal clear in our communications…
