Modernizing Business Analysis

Giving BAs AI Fluency & Literacy to Use, Analyze, and Recommend AI Solutions

Implementing AI for your enterprise projects and business processes, as well as using AI effectively require us to understand AI from the vantage point of our role, and in the context of our work.

Stakeholders ask for solutions that are either too specific or too generic, and pressure teams to deliver them, rather than solving real problems. AI literacy can help analysis roles navigate these conversations.

Analysis professionals have a huge role in this dynamic that can change everything!

Analysts are increasingly expected to participate in AI decisions, yet most training focuses on tools or stays abstract. This course fills the gap in understanding AI capabilities: Not from a technical point of view, but from a capability point of view; business uses and patterns of functional usage.

You will build a grounded understanding of AI capabilities, limits, and failure modes, and learn how requirements work uses AI and where AI literacy brings better results to your work.
