Managing change in any organization is a complex and challenging task. As Bill Gates once wisely remarked, "Success today requires the agility and drive to constantly rethink, reinvigorate, react, and reinvent." One particular concept that plays an instrumental role in organizational success is Certification of Competency in Business Analysis (CCBA). This is the globally recognized designation offered by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) that acknowledges the competency of business analysts. Experts from McKinsey & Company also affirm that competent business analysis is a fulcrum to Strategic Management, particularly in the areas of Business Transformation, Change Management, and Operational Excellence.
