Helping teams use business analysis to create better outcomes

Blackmetric Business Solutions is a specialist consultancy focused on business analysis training and consulting. We work with organisations of all sizes to help them improve how they understand problems, navigate change and deliver meaningful outcomes.

Founded in 2012 by Adrian Reed, Blackmetric was created from a belief that business analysis is a powerful enabler of strategic success. After years of working on complex projects, Adrian saw first-hand how effective analysis often made the difference between failure and success.

Blackmetric was born out of a desire to work collaboratively with teams to co-create better outcomes, and to promote the value business analysis brings across the change lifecycle. Adrian remains actively involved in all aspects of the business, delivering services alongside a trusted network of associates and partners.
