What would you do if you could improve your organisation by doing the right things, the right way?

Business analysis is a research discipline of identifying business needs and determining solutions to business problems. Solutions often include a systems development component, but may also consist of process improvement, organisational change or strategic planning and policy development.

Sharon Brown and Associates bring this all together using a simple, disciplined approach:

Sharon Brown & Associates assist organisations to:

• Ensure projects remain aligned to their business objectives, by tracing project objectives and the solutions being delivered to business objectives and requirements.
• Define, analyse and manage requirements for business and systems related projects, utilising proven methods that ensure all requirements remain stakeholder driven.
• Provide early insight into the benefits realisation activities that must be managed and applied to ensure that the planned capabilities (the ‘solution’) are adopted and used as intended.
• Devise and perform testing activities that validate from early on in projects that requirements are both valid and being satisfied.
