Synopsis
Kick-off National Apprenticeship Week with a thrilling and interactive Murder Mystery event designed specifically for Business Analyst apprentices! Hosted by BCS in association with Kilts & Kente, this exciting event will bring teams of BA apprentices together to test and develop essential analytical skills in a fun, high-energy environment.
How it works:
Five teams of six apprentices will compete to solve the mystery of Richard’s untimely demise. Throughout the event, they will work together to retrace Richard's final moments inside a country manor, using key Business Analysis tools and techniques to uncover the sequence of events leading to his mysterious death.
Each scenario will reveal a new clue, and through collaboration and problem-solving, participants will work to pinpoint the critical moment and uncover the missing artifact that holds the key to solving the case.
Skills Tested & Developed:
- Collaboration: Working together to solve complex problems, sharing insights, and piecing together clues.
- Communication: Using active listening and clear articulation of ideas to support the team’s efforts in tracing Richard’s final movements.
- Team Building: Creating a positive, trusting environment where all team members feel confident sharing ideas under pressure.
- Analytical Thinking: Applying real Business Analysis tools and techniques (such as swim lanes, process maps, and stakeholder analysis) to solve the mystery.
Competencies Focused On:
- Collaboration: Encourage teamwork and trust-building while solving the mystery.
- Communication: Strengthen the ability to actively listen and effectively communicate complex ideas.
- Problem-Solving: Use analytical tools (affinity diagrams, swimlanes, and process maps) to piece together the mystery.
Targeted Development:
This event will help apprentices enhance their ability to analyse stakeholder insights, improve their communication and collaboration skills, and reinforce key Business Analysis techniques—skills that are critical to their future roles as BAs.
