Assessing and Improving a BA Practice

Client Situation

A large UK insurance organisation was undergoing a major transformation programme aimed at simplifying its business and modernising its approach to change delivery.

 

Challenge

As the organisation moved towards more agile delivery approaches, leadership recognised that the Business Analysis function needed to evolve. There was a need to assess the current BA practice and define a future operating model aligned with the organisation’s transformation goals.

Key challenges included:

  • Understanding the current maturity of the BA practice
  • Aligning the BA function with evolving agile delivery models
  • Defining a clear operating model for the future BA practice

 

Our Approach

Be Positive conducted a structured Business Analysis capability assessment. This included surveys, workshops and analysis of existing tools, processes and ways of working across the BA team.

The insights were used to identify strengths, highlight capability gaps and design a future operating model for the BA practice.

Key activities included:

  • Conducting an independent assessment of BA capability
  • Facilitating workshops and surveys with BA teams and stakeholders
  • Reviewing tools, processes and delivery approaches
  • Designing a future operating model for the BA practice

 

Impact

The organisation gained a clear understanding of how the BA function currently operated and where improvements were required.

The assessment provided leadership with a practical roadmap for strengthening capability and supporting future transformation initiatives.

 

How We Help

Organisations undergoing transformation often benefit from independent assessments of their Business Analysis capability.

We support organisations by helping them understand the current maturity of their BA practice and defining clear roadmaps for strengthening capability and supporting future delivery.
