How do we improve pupils' analysis skills?

After marking many, many pieces of Business coursework over that last few weeks it is clear to me that there is a huge gap between those who can analyse their findings and those who really can't.

I am always telling pupils that if after reading an answer, I can still ask them why something is the way they have said it is, then they have not gone deep enough with their analysis. 

Training pupils in this seems to be one of the hardest parts of my job. We do practice question after practice question yet are still struggling when it comes to the real thing.
