From Scribe to Consultant

4-Session Sharing Series for Business Analysts
"Transform how you discover, analyze, and deliver — by thinking like a Great Consultant."
4 Sessions Biweekly 60-90 min each BA / BPA Track
Program: From Scribe to Consultant Format: 4 sharing sessions (biweekly) Duration: 60-90 min per session Target: Business Analyst & Business Process Analyst

This program equips BA/BPAs with a consultative discovery framework (Iceberg Principle, 7 Levels of Needs, MHUI Framework, 5 Communication Stances) to transform from a scribe who documents feature requests into a consultant who uncovers real needs.

Flipped Classroom Format: Participants read the material (pre-read) before each session. Face-to-face sessions are used for practice, roleplay, and discussion — not lectures. Each module contains in-depth theory, case studies, dialogue transcripts, and self-paced exercises.
