“Agile isn't just about software development these
days. Agile can certainly be about people, managerial,
organizational, and executive development.” 8
Victoria King, M.D. &
Eric King, Davisbase Consulting
“In today's world, every company is at risk of having a
‘Kodak Moment’ watching its industry and the
competitive advantages it has developed over years,
even decades, vanish overnight.
Everyone needs agility.” 3
David Butler, Vice President of
Innovation & Entrepreneurship
“60% of program spend is now on Agile projects.”7
Craig Fischer, CIO
“The team that had literally dozens of internal
customers…organized a customer council… [that
identified scope] for good of all, in order of value to
Amazon overall.” 9
Alan Atlas, Amazon’s first Agile Coach
“Australia of the future has to be a nation that is agile,
innovative, creative.” 10
Malcolm Turnbull, Prime Minister of Australia
“I say [adopting agile] that not as a value statement,
but as a strategic necessity.” 11
Patrick Eltridge, ex-CIO
now CIO, Royal Bank of Scotland
“In the financial services industry, risk is critical,” “That
was an amazing turnaround for a quite conservative
part of the industry, and they could make a difference
earlier in the process than ever before.” 12
Pete Steel, ex-CIO Retail and Business Banking
now Executive General Manager, Digital
“Turning to agile to cope with the madness of our
high-speed digital-obsessed 21st century makes all the
sense in the world.”13
Nigel Dalton, CIO
“Results: doubling its productivity every year.. 30
percent more new functionality to business units at
lower cost every quarter. Agile could also translate
beyond the IT organisation. The CEO asked us to
go Agilise the entire company
500 people from line-of-business units have already
receive Agile training. We stepped completely out to
act as coaches and mentors, and within two weeks we
had moved 50 per cent of our total delivery capacity
onto this program under the auspices of four people
that had never led anyone before. It’s been a
phenomenal exercise, and a phenomenal success.” 14
Jeff Smith, ex CEO of Suncorp Business Services
now CIO, International Business Machines (IBM)
Who has agility?
“21st century services require a 21st century approach to
delivery - one that focuses foremost on speed to delivery and
ability to scale while focussing on user needs, rather than
the traditional approach of repeatable process, risk
minimisation and cost efficiency. Agile approaches have
enabled Healthdirect to achieve its current market position
and are increasingly critical to ensure alignment with the
new approaches to government services referenced by Prime
Minister Turnbull and the Digital Transformation Office.”
Bruce Haefele, Chief Architect
FAMILY PRACTICE GP
“Measure not hours, but great works accomplished
by our people.” 4 6
Patty McCord, Chief Talent Officer
