Critical thinking for Business Analysis

Critical Thinking for Business Analysts helps professionals cut through ambiguity, recognise bias, and make sound, evidence-based decisions. Through video lessons, cases studies and quizzes you’ll explore deductive, inductive, and abductive reasoning and will learn to build valid arguments. You will learn techniques to identify and avoid biases and fallacies. You’ll also learn methods for problem framing, hypothesis creation, and A/B testing, plus tools to validate and communicate sound business recommendations. Designed for analysts, consultants, and decision-makers, this course strengthens your ability to question assumptions, connect facts to conclusions, and communicate reasoning that builds trust. You’ll explore frameworks to analyse problems, test reasoning, and construct logical arguments, while learning to avoid the traps that distort judgement. By completion, you’ll be able to apply logical reasoning to ambiguous problems, challenge assumptions and biases, use different reasoning types effectively, build evidence-based arguments, and test hypotheses to improve analytical rigour. You’ll see how different reasoning styles appear in real business contexts, from stakeholder debates to data-driven analysis. By the end, you won’t just write better requirements — you’ll think better. And in complex organisations, that’s your advantage.
