“When I started at Vodafone NZ our ways of working needed to be massively overhauled to increase efficiency and set clear, consistent processes. We also wanted to attract good people, so we wanted to be working in modern ways with modern technologies. That meant integrating agile across the business.

When you take an organisation on that journey there’s no off-the-shelf model that you can simply take and apply. I’d already worked with Elabor8 in Australia and seen the benefits of improving broken processes. They were here from the very beginning helping us design a new delivery model, and played a key role in leading our transition to a permanent agile transformation capability in New Zealand.

With Elabor8, you have good people, flexibility and you know what you’re getting. Staff have been glowing in their praise of our new framework, sending a clear signal that we are on the right trajectory.”

Andrew Haddad, Chief Information Officer, Vodafone NZ

“We engaged Elabor8 to coach and guide our four technology teams in the use of Agile. All four teams had little to no Agile experience. With Elabor8’s coaching, within the space of three months, all four teams were operating Agile. This included both Scrum and Kanban philosophies as well as following all the principle ceremonies. Our uplift was so successful that we became the leading team in our wider technology group of which other groups were visiting to see how we were operating. Elabor8 also coached our leadership team in the values of having a vision and purpose and built on our soft skills which has improved the overall engagement amongst our team. I will be using Elabor8 again and recommending them to my colleagues.”
