Our service portfolio falls into 5 areas:
People/Staffing
Our dedicated selection service fully pre-qualifies candidates through a competency based assessment and online capability assessment. Of key importance to our work is the process we employ in the selection of candidates and assessment of the precise nature of the role.
Our initial assessment of the role looks at:
- The core competencies necessary to be successful in the role - communication skills, relationship building, political awareness, process orientation, stakeholder management, facilitation skills, judgement/decision making or attention to detail.
- Basing our initial assessments on competency questioning means the information we gain can be used to structure new employee training and development programmes in the longer term.
- The weighting of the role in terms of systems, process or business change.
- The necessary personality for an appropriate cultural and team fit.

Training in Partnership – Growing Your Own
Due to the complex nature of Business Analysis and a lack of structured training available in the industry, securing business change knowledge within an organisation has traditionally been a struggle.
To counter this Certes Analysis Resources has partnered with Elements of Change – a training company dedicated to the business analysis profession. This partnership allows us to provide structured knowledge, understanding, and education on the skills necessary for effective Business Analysis and Change Management.
Elements of Change was formed in 1993 specifically to design, market and deliver structured, accredited training and development programmes for all those involved in making effective and profitable business change.
