Twenty years making complex work legible — to the people who need to act on it, approve it, and deliver it. The methodology is in the work. Some of it is available to take away and use.
The case studies show the work. The methodology section shows how I think. Together they make the same argument — that rigorous practice, made visual, produces better outcomes than intuition alone.
A practical AI-powered guide for people who have been handed business analysis work with no formal training. Twelve artefacts, six project phases, and 40+ ready-to-use prompts — sequenced in the order a real project unfolds.
Every major business process across an electricity distribution business — HR, Finance, Operations, and Service Management — mapped, interlinked, timed, and costed in LINQ to produce four system investment business cases with quantified current vs future state comparisons.
Every BA engagement follows the same underlying logic. These five zoomed maps show how that logic unfolds — each phase with its own artefacts, its own failure modes, its own emotional arc, and its own centrepiece diagram. Free to explore. Built to be useful.
A modular safety system combining self-assessment logic, in-cab retinal detection, an AI-assisted hours monitoring proof of concept, and wearable physiological data — shifting field operations from static declarations to continuous risk awareness.
A mandatory ERP upgrade with a configuration-only rule forced a complete redesign of where critical functions lived. Service delivery, asset management, billing, and regulatory functions all re-housed in purpose-built systems — without disrupting daily operations.
In 2007, the iPhone launched without panoramic photography. We shipped the solution before the market knew it existed — 30,000 units sold, five versions, and a lesson in the power of benefit-led design.
Every engagement follows the same underlying logic — understand the problem before designing the solution, map the people before writing the requirements, build the evidence before making the case. These phase maps show how that logic actually unfolds. They are free to explore. They are also the foundation of the BA Prompt Pack.
I was once described as having an insatiable appetite for knowledge. That might be taking it a bit far — but I have always enjoyed the opportunity to deep-dive into a subject until something genuinely useful surfaces.
The challenge is always to come out with observations and insights — and then to articulate those in meaningful ways that inform decisions.
My work sits at the intersection of how organisations operate, how information flows, and how people make sense of complexity. I work across process engineering, service design, systems thinking, and visual communication — often on the same project.
If you have a complex problem that needs to be made legible — to a team, a leadership group, or the people doing the work — I'd like to hear about it. Currently available for process engineering, service design, and systems thinking contracts in NZ and remotely.
