Strategic Business Analysis Essentials
The Strategic Business Analysis Essentials course, led by business consultant Christina Charenkova was insightful to say the least. The primary focus was on identifying, defining, and prioritizing business needs through strategy analysis. There also was emphasis on the importance of building strong relationships with stakeholders, as effect strategy depends on people’s engagement and commitment. While I was already familiar with a few external analysis tools like PESTLE and Porter’s 5 forces, this course helped my proficiency in assessing internal capabilities, defining scope alongside future-state planning, and ensure that strategies are both practical and sustainable.
