Building a connected approach to analysis and change
1 and One partnered with an Australian Government regulator to strengthen how business analysis and change management supported organisational initiatives.
The engagement addressed two connected needs: establishing a consistent, fit-for-purpose approach to business analysis and identifying practical improvements to change management. Our work translated recognised industry guidance into frameworks, tools and ways of working tailored to the regulator’s operating environment.
Current state discovery
Reviewed existing frameworks, processes, guidance and tools to understand how business analysis and change management were being applied across different initiatives.
Best practice assessment
Assessed current practices against recognised industry guidance and public sector delivery principles, identifying strengths, gaps and opportunities for practical improvement.
Integrated design
Examined the points where business analysis and change management intersect. This clarified responsibilities, improved handovers, and reduced duplicate stakeholder engagement.
Fit-for-purpose framework
Designed an approach that could be scaled to suit initiatives of different sizes, levels of complexity and delivery methods while maintaining appropriate rigour.
Practical tools
Translated strategic advice into accessible tools, templates and decision guidance that teams could apply throughout the delivery lifecycle.
Validation and implementation
Tested and refined the proposed approach with internal stakeholders and developed a clear pathway for implementation, capability uplift and continuous improvement.
Deliverables
Our engagement produced a practical suite of strategic and operational artefacts, including:
- a tailored business analysis framework and playbook
- an end-to-end lifecycle describing the key business analysis activities and decision points
- decision guidance to help teams select an approach proportionate to the initiative
- clearer roles, responsibilities and collaboration points across business analysis and change management
- reusable templates and supporting guidance for consistent delivery
- targeted recommendations and practical tools to strengthen change planning and communication
- an implementation roadmap to support adoption, capability development and continuous improvement.
Outcomes
The engagement established a stronger foundation for consistent business analysis and change management across the organisation. Key outcomes included:
- a shared and practical approach that could be applied across different types of initiatives
- clearer connections between business analysis, change management and broader delivery activities
- improved role clarity and more effective handovers between practitioners
- reduced duplication in stakeholder engagement and planning
- practical tools that translated recognised guidance into day-to-day activities
- a scalable approach that balanced consistency with the needs of each initiative
- a clear pathway for embedding the approach and building internal capability.
Making best practice work in the real world
Frameworks create value when people can apply them with confidence. By combining business analysis and change management expertise, 1 and One helped the regulator move from broad industry guidance to practical, integrated ways of working designed for its operating environment.
