The 21st role of the Business Analyst is clear: it’s all about developing the business: how to automate, improve decision-making, provide customer value; do more, faster and reduce cost while improve capabilities.

The RPA Business Analyst certification is uniquely designed to meet the needs of the today to instill new cross functional automation skills that are based on RPA concepts. They need critical thinkers with the ability to document organizational functions, processes, services, data and rules. Then rethink, reengineer and simplify them. Basically, understand the complexities existing in the workflow and to simplify the flow.

The RPA Business Analyst Program including Individual Performance Coaching is offered as a 5 days training program and is designed and certified by the Global University Alliance.

Focus of the RPA Business Analyst

The RPA Business Analyst Program is based on an intensive 5-day classroom training module and is supported by Individual Performance Coaching on a project selected by the practitioner.

While moderately complex projects will still need traditional Business Analyst focus on requirements definition and management, these will become fewer and fewer as organizations have greater need for automation based on newer technologies. The conventional Business Analyst way of working is traditionally focused on operational modelling such as process analysis and optimization, etc.

The new demand for organizations towards the RPA Business Analyst role is the demand to focus on delivery of business value and innovation triggered by automation potential. Thereby understanding the holistic nature of change. Realizing that a holistic view of change is both an art and a science, the RPA Business Analyst strike a balance between process analysis, business design thinking and solution automation.
