Welcome to Business Analysis Simplified—the podcast where we unpack key business analysis skills through real-world storytelling.

In this episode, we explore the Business Intelligence (BI) Perspective, where business analysts help organizations transform raw data into smart decisions. To make it fun and practical, we join Michael and Emily as they guide fictional characters Emma, Jack, Sophia, and Liam in launching a School Recycling Program—and discover how tracking cans and bottles becomes a powerful lesson in data-driven improvement.

You'll learn how business analysts play a vital role in BI by defining what data matters, creating meaningful visuals, analyzing trends, and recommending action. It’s not just about numbers—it’s about making change happen.
