Business Analyst Program
A four-week intensive program with smaller groups, weekly direct sessions with the founder and mentor, a dedicated workshop, and a broader domain scope — for those who want a more closely guided experience.
Closer mentorship. Broader scope.
The Business Analyst Program is a four-week structured experiential learning program. Participants work on a project brief built around a real-world business problem in a small group of 3–5, following the ABCD framework — Align, Build, Converge, Deliver.
Every week includes a live session with the program founder or mentor — a structured working call where your group's progress is reviewed, problems are worked through together, and direct feedback is given on your output. This is the core of what makes the program more intensive.
A dedicated workshop on business case methodology and structured problem-solving runs during the program. Three domains are available: Banking & Finance, Consulting & Strategy, and Data & Business Analytics — the last of which is exclusive to this program.
Weekly founder & mentor sessions
A live working session every week led by the program founder or mentor — structured feedback on your group's output, progress review, and direct problem-solving. More engagement, more accountability, every week.
Groups of 3–5
A smaller working group means every participant's contribution is visible, coordination is faster, and the group dynamic reflects genuine collaboration rather than a divided effort.
Data & Business Analytics — exclusive domain
A third domain available in this program, covering data analysis, AI/ML applications in business, and data science fundamentals applied to real-world business problems.
Everything in the program, clearly stated
Six features that define the Business Analyst Program experience — each contributing to the depth and accountability of the four weeks.
Weekly Founder & Mentor Sessions
A live working session every week — progress review, structured feedback on your group's output, and direct problem-solving. Each session is led by the program founder or a domain mentor. One of the four sessions is compulsory; all carry equal weight in the program.
Every week · LiveGroups of 3–5
A deliberately small working group. Every participant's contribution is visible and accounted for — the output reflects the group's collective effort throughout the four weeks.
Intentionally smallDedicated Workshop
One structured workshop across the four weeks covering business case methodology, analytical frameworks, and structured problem-solving — applied directly to the domain your group is working in.
Live · AppliedData & Business Analytics Domain
A third domain available exclusively in this program. Projects incorporate data analysis, AI/ML applications in a business context, and data science fundamentals — producing outputs with a structured quantitative component.
BAP exclusiveSlack & Digital Workplace
Daily engagement in your group channel — updates, questions, findings, and coordination. Professional, async-first, with a 24-hour response norm across the cohort. The digital environment is a structured part of the learning.

Every group follows the same four-phase progression — adapted from how professional consulting and finance teams approach engagements, delivered here as a guided educational framework.
Align
Scope · Structure · Setup- Read the brief — what is it actually asking for?
- Divide workstreams by interest and background

Build
Research · Analyse · Model- Each workstream runs independently and in depth
- Gather data, run benchmarks, build analytical frameworks
- Share interim findings — look for connections
- Test whether evidence supports the hypothesis
Converge
Synthesise · Decide · Narrate- Stop collecting — start concluding
- Draw conclusions across workstreams
- Agree on a clear recommendation
- Draft the structure of your final deliverable
Deliver
Present · Submit · Close- Integrate all workstream outputs into a final piece

Choose your domain. Three options available.
Indicate your domain preference when you express interest — groups are formed by domain and timezone wherever possible.
Banking & Finance
Structured finance, investment analysis, capital markets, and financial modelling. Projects draw from real-world scenarios in private credit, equity research, and corporate advisory.
Consulting & Strategy
Market entry, competitive strategy, business model analysis, and structured problem-solving. Projects are framed as consulting engagements — your group is the advisory team, the brief is the mandate.
Data & Business Analytics
Data-driven business analysis incorporating AI/ML applications, data science fundamentals, and quantitative problem-solving. Projects combine analytical rigour with business context — outputs include a structured data component alongside the recommendation.
Representative examples of the brief format
Projects vary by cohort. These examples illustrate the scope, depth, and analytical rigour participants can expect.

Build a full investment case for a late-stage technology company approaching an IPO — covering valuation, competitive positioning, risk assessment, and a structured go/no-go recommendation for a hypothetical investment committee.
Asia-to-US Market Entry
