Hi, I’m Michael ☺️

Hey everyone! Michael @Maddenz here, ready to dive into the wonderful world of business analysis with you all. I’ve been doing this for over two decades now, mostly bouncing between New Zealand and Australia, helping folks in both the public and private sectors figure out how to make their tech dreams a reality and untangle some truly epic legislative knots. Think of me as your friendly neighborhood complexity-clarifier and the guy who tries to make sure everyone’s voice is listened to when it comes to business goals and technology. Looking forward to some great chats and maybe even a few laughs along the way!

Now for the boring demographics section:

  • Where do you live: Wellington (currently :wink::wink:)
  • What interests you - I like to “know” - it’s what drives me to get to the root cause of some of the most trickiest problems. And as the saying goes, “once you know what the problem is you’re halfway to solving it.”
  • Where did you hear about us: I was lucky enough to be linked up by Hannah (aka @Hannah)
  • What motivates you to join our community: a desire to contribute in someway and a curiosity to see “what’s next” for business analysis.
  • One interesting fact about you - that I still don’t know what I wanna be when I grow up.

Welcome to the community @Maddenz :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Welcome Michael!!! :waving_hand:

Welcome - and given your Aus/NZ bouncing, I’d be keen to hear, what do you see in terms of difference between our cousin countries? both for the clients / employers, and for the BAs??

Hi Jasmin,

Interesting question, I started replying and started to realise this was probably a topic of its own which I’m now putting the finishing touches on and will post today or tomorrow I think.

Sorry to keep you in suspense. :nerd_face:
