Building a Business Analysis Capability Framework
Client Situation
A large public sector organisation undergoing a major digital transformation wanted to reduce reliance on contract Business Analysts and build a sustainable internal BA capability.
While the organisation had strong digital ambitions, it recognised the need to strengthen its internal capability to support long-term delivery.
Challenge
Leadership aimed to develop an internal Business Analysis capability that could support ongoing transformation initiatives.
However, there was no structured framework defining the competencies, skills, and development pathways for Business Analysts.
Key challenges included:
- Lack of a clear competency framework for Business Analysts
- No defined career development pathways
- Heavy reliance on contract BA resources
- Difficulty supporting consistent capability development across the organisation
Our Approach
Be Positive worked closely with the organisation to design a tailored Business Analysis Capability Framework.
The framework combined recognised industry standards with our experience supporting BA practices and transformation programmes.
Key activities included:
- Defining core competencies required across different BA levels
- Creating structured career development pathways aligned to internal roles
- Supporting alignment between capability development and organisational needs
- Providing practical guidance for managers to support recruitment and development
Impact
The organisation established a clear and structured approach to developing its internal Business Analysis capability, reducing reliance on contract resources and enabling more consistent capability growth.
How We Help
Developing internal capability requires both structure and practical application.
We support organisations by designing Business Analysis frameworks, defining career pathways, and providing experienced analysts to help build sustainable capability aligned to long-term transformation goals.
