Successful business analysis requires understanding environments, industries, and organizations. This comes from, among other things, experience, solid data and information, and the proper choice and utilization of analytical techniques.

This status is most commonly demonstrated by the organization’s ability to generate and maintain sustained levels of profitability above the industry average.

With the information you have gained over the last 5 weeks coupled with your new knowledge of Decision Analysis, turn that lens inward to your own organization.
