Overview

System Analysts play a pivotal role in translating business requirements into technical system designs, ensuring alignment between users, processes, data, and technology. As systems become more complex and organisations demand faster, more adaptive solutions, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful capability to support modern systems analysis.

Advances in Machine Learning, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Generative AI enable system analysts to analyse requirements more efficiently, document system specifications, model processes, assess system impacts, and support solution design with greater speed and clarity. AI tools can assist across the full systems analysis lifecycle—from requirements elicitation and system modelling to documentation, validation, and change analysis.

This course provides a practical, system-focused introduction to AI for System Analysts. Participants will gain a clear understanding of AI concepts, explore how AI technologies interconnect, and gain hands-on experience using leading AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, Grok, Claude, Manus, DeepSeek, Qwen, and NotebookLM. The emphasis is on real system analysis use cases, responsible AI usage, and improving the quality and consistency of system deliverables—without requiring programming skills.
