Before the solution to a business problem can be implemented, a business analyst must perform a strategy analysis. This involves assessing the organization's current state, as well as its desired future state, to determine what the change strategy will look like. In addition, the business analyst must assess the risks of making proposed changes and decide whether the benefits outweigh the costs.
