Recensioner i media

Business analysis was something I simply did, rather than thinking of it as a profession; that was until I went to the launch of the first edition of Business Analysis. As the profession of business analysis continues to evolve and adapt to a changing environment, I’m delighted that this 4th edition continues to lead the way. It remains the ‘go-to’ book and most important guide for professional business analysts. Indispensable and invaluable.Dylan Jones, Deputy Director, Department for Work and Pensions
