What are the challenges our clients face when managing an inhouse business analyst team?
When our clients manage their inhouse business analyst team, they may face several challenges:
- Recruitment and training costs: Sourcing and hiring the right business analyst can be costly and time-consuming. Moreover, once hired, the analyst may require additional training to align with the specific needs of your business.
- Limited scope of expertise: An individual analyst may have expertise in certain areas but might lack the broad range of skills. This could limit the ability to address diverse business challenges over time.
- Adaptability and flexibility: In-house analysts may be less adaptable to changing technologies and market trends compared to a service that is constantly updating its skills and services to stay competitive.
- Continuity risks: If your business analyst leaves the company, it can disrupt operations until a replacement is found and trained. This can lead to a loss of productivity and continuity.
- Innovation limitations: In-house analysts may lack exposure to a variety of industries and practices, which can lead to a constrained view on innovation within a company. This can result in a tendency to adhere to the status quo and potentially miss out on cutting-edge solutions and creative problem-solving techniques.
- Networking and industry insights: In-house business analysts might not have the same level of access to extensive professional networks and industry insights compared to those working in a dedicated BA service firm. This limitation can hinder their ability to benchmark effectively and adopt best practices from across the market.
