PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:
The purpose of the Advanced Diploma in Business Analysis is to assist aspiring learners to develop a broad understanding of business information systems and business strategy to practically conduct business analysis processes. Furthermore, this qualification will address the national human resources scarce skill towards progressive competent analysis in the economy. This is to further assist the learner with Information Technology, managerial and business administrative tasks and operations. Therefore, the purpose of this qualification is to provide learners with a holistic and robust understanding of the field of business analysis. Learners will acquire a well-rounded understanding of information systems, structures, information flow, business processes and business strategy in the key fields of business analysis.

The qualification will enable learners to apply strategic, critical thinking, analytical approaches to support business with an informed evidence-based recommendation that improves not only individual companies but the entire economy. Upon completion of the qualification, qualifying learners will be able to:
  • Develop an understanding of business strategy and its impact on the business environment.
  • Demonstrate integrated knowledge of business information systems.
  • Evaluate systems support function by critically identifying and assessing problems and opportunities for improving information systems support to business strategy.
  • Critically evaluate stakeholder interests in the business information systems.
  • Identify, evaluate, and interpret critical linkages, and relationships between business information systems and strategy.
  • Assess and model information flow structure between business information systems and strategy.
  • Apply problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical techniques to plan and identify the structure for documenting a business case.
  • Analyse information systems, support business strategy, and apply to organisations that need a competent and knowledgeable employee to assist with analysis.

    Rationale:
    Business analysis is a combination of both Information Technology (IT) and business skills therefore one must possess both skills to be able to execute the expected deliverables in the field of analysis (Moleke and Fourie, 2019), Mathematics and Science subjects are considered as prerequisites for a majority of specialised IT and analytics qualifications. The Advanced Diploma in Business Analysis offers a rich platform that learners may qualify and exercise IT in business. Due to the sharp decline in mathematics and science matric pass rate, which is widening the skills gap, the possible job market for Business Analysts in South Africa has been heavily populated by foreigners through the critical skills visa permit facility initiative by the government of South Africa. South Africa's desire to meet global demands and international trends on skilled manpower means that there is a need to upgrade the economy with experts in business analysis then home-grown solutions such as training on Advanced Diploma in Business Analysis should be welcomed. The qualification meets international standards as the module outcomes were aligned to international comparisons.

    According to Maffin and Tellah (2019), a Business Analyst works as a liaison amongst stakeholders to elicit, analyse, communicate, and validate requirements for changes to business processes, policies, and information systems. The Business Analyst understands business problems and opportunities in the context of the requirements and recommends solutions that enable the organisation to achieve its goals. Traditionally Business Analysts were drawn from senior Information Technology (IT) and business people, whereas this qualification provides advanced level access for the development of such competencies. The qualification in Business Analysis provides opportunities for people to engage in further learning towards a specialisation in business analysis or achieve competencies that are portable to other specialisations such as systems development, systems modelling or systems support (Gardner, 2019:260-320). The qualification will, therefore, enable business analysis competencies to be strengthened and enable individuals who are currently working in a business systems environment, to better contribute to the implementation of solutions that support the business requirements and strategy.

    Furthermore, the competencies of business analysis have been identified as a target development area for the business and information communication technology sector and the South African government (Gardner, 2019). The demand for this qualification is evidenced by national initiatives (critical skills permits for foreigners) as well as international demands and trends. It is intended to empower learners to acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values required to operate confidently as individuals in the South African community and to respond to the challenges of the economic environment and changing world of work. Ultimately, this qualification is aimed at improving the productivity and efficiency of Business Analysts within all sectors in South Africa.

    The critical skills gap in the South African economy for such competencies as Business Analysis is heavily driven by the lack of sound grade 12 level science and mathematics subject pass rate. A Business Analyst should possess a workable understanding of business and strong IT background which in most cases demands science or mathematics appreciation at the Matric level. Though mathematics or science is not a prerequisite for one to take up business analysis and qualify as a Business Analyst the content of the qualification and the standards set against international boards such as the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) will make it hard for a learner that does not have a workable appreciation of science and mathematics at Matric. Media, Information and Communication Technologies Sector Education and Training Authority (MICTSETA) in its Annual Sector Skills Plan for 2019- 2024 has acknowledged Business Analyst as one of the top 10 occupations in the information sector that employers are finding difficult to recruit. The qualification will provide learners with progression opportunities at the higher education level and attempt to bridge the skills gap that is proving challenging to the employers in the sector.

    According to the Human Science Research Council (HSRC), the trends and future workforce needs supports the market proves the need to train more experts in business analysis for South Africa to compete in the global arena (HSRC, 2019:2-12). Over the years, South Africa has been grappling with a skills gap that emanates from a general lack of academics and professionals in the science field. The South African government is working towards achieving the Key National Strategic Projects, Strategic Infrastructure Projects, and the National Infrastructure Projects. For these projects to come to fruition, there is a need for an adequate supply of critical skills in South Africa. These skills vary depending on the demand versus supply dynamics, training needs, competitiveness, and relevance. Among the critical skills required by the South African government are:
  • Information Technology and Telecommunications Directors.
  • IT Specialist Managers.
  • IT Project and Qualification Managers.
  • IT Business Analysts, Architects and Systems Designers.

    It is acknowledged that there are at least 1,172 Business Analyst jobs in the market around South Africa available to locals (Edwards, 2019:40-71). However, Villanova (2018:56-102) lamented that employment agency databases show less and a rather insignificant number of qualified South Africans for the positions. The Advanced Diploma in Business Analysis qualification intends to train South Africans and address the market gap. The qualification will bridge the existing gap in the industry by providing the much-needed training in this sector. The qualification will achieve this strategic goal by equipping new entrants who may be prospective Business Analysts or current analysts who do not have adequate business analysis skills and competence. This qualification aims to attract a broad spectrum of learners with any relevant IT and Business qualification. Completion of this qualification envisages enabling the learner to maximise the benefits of sound technical and business management leadership. The benefit of understanding IT and business strategy is to equip the learner with relevant and necessary skills to function profitably in support of the business strategy.
