We were having difficulty progressing a large enterprise wide project and I needed to reassess and reset our approach. I engaged Luminate and they helped us put in place a realistic and believable recovery plan to get the project delivered. One of the keys to the successful recovery was the experience and resilience demonstrated by the Luminate team.

I was looking for a partner to assist us with two strategic programmes of work. I chose Luminate because I wanted a partner that I could trust and had a track record of delivery. They provided key resources that have really driven and owned the delivery of these programmes of work. They have also demonstrated to us what good programme resources should look like, a real bench mark for us for future project work.

We were struggling to find a project  manager with the right capability, experience and leadership to steady the ship on one of our business critical projects. Thankfully Luminate was able to provide a senior PM from their team, who dealt in facts, had the right experience with contact centre platform replacements and was able to manage vendor relationships exceptionally well. Even more importantly, they relished the challenge! There are a lot of project managers in the market, however not many that are as highly capable.

When we needed an independent view of the health of Kiwibank’s projects we engaged Luminate. Their team of experienced and instinctive professionals, combined with Luminate’s no-nonsense project assurance model, provided us with what we needed – the root causes of problems, a clear and true view of each project’s chance of success and clear recommendations on the way forward.

Jarrod led the programme that transformed the core IT systems at 2degrees. These types of project are rarely straightforward, with many failing to launch – ever. Fortunately this was not the case at 2degrees. Jarrod worked steadfastly with the business stakeholders, members of the IT team, and technology partners in getting the job done. This took perseverance and resilience, to overcome challenges both big and small. Jarrod played an instrumental part in providing a path forward and instilled an unwavering belief that “we can do this”.

Whenever I work with Jarrod, I’m always impressed at his ability to bring sanity and structure to what should be chaos. His ability to cut through the noise, present the facts and instil confidence in stakeholders around complex projects is his super power.

I’ve engaged Jarrod on a number of projects across different businesses and industries. For new projects he has the ability to give me an accurate view of the true business case and execution plan, which ultimately leads to a smoother and more rapid delivery. When I’ve brought Jarrod in to help with failing projects he rapidly establishes what is really happening and always provides me with clarity and a way forward. Jarrod is my go to programme manager. When I need something done and done right, he is the first person I call.
