Christchurch Business Analysis and Beyond meetup

We are back for our April 2026 meetup. This month is the deferred session that was originally planned for March (but had to be rescheduled!) - the plan for this session is:

• Networking
• Presentation - 'Working with Architects' by Nishant Bahad (Enterprise Architect, Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora) and Vaughan Luckman (Consultant, Luckman - Beyond BA)

In this session we are pulling on lessons learned from working together on previous projects to explore how to get the best out of the Architect / BA relationship!

We are back for our May 2026 meetup. This month we are getting hands on with another group workshop - the plan for this session is:

• Networking
• Group Workshop - "A context-first BA framework"
• Context has always been critical for us as BAs, but often the definition of this context has been implicit, rather than explicit (eg, we know how to work within an organisation because we have experienced it - but we don't necessarily sit down and document that context ...).
• So how does this change as we become more and more integrated with AI tools? How do we make context sharing more deliberate (and reusable)?
• Join us as we workshop a 'context-first BA framework' model - and try to establish what that would really mean within our BA practices!
