    If we are asked to evaluate the performance of a company should we go deep into the details such as the reasons for the variances? We do that in analysis and i am wondering if we have to do the same in evaluation as well

    Evaluation is primarily looking at pros/cons, good/bad, adopt/avoid. It is not primarily looking at causes.

    Analysis looks more at reasons, causes and understanding.

    I know some aspects of the two skills are close, but try to apply the emphasises above.

    You will find more detailed guidance in the professional skills section of the Detailed Study Guide for SBL, but what I’ve written above is a more straightforward guide, I think.
