Tristia Harrison
CEO, TalkTalk Group
“Technology delivery was an area that lacked a ‘balanced scorecard’ of metrics to share with the C-suite. Plandek provides those metrics whilst also enabling the delivery team (from squad level upwards) to optimise around the metrics that I care about. As such it is tremendously powerful.”
Giulio Folino
Head of Digital, Ministry of Justice
“At the MoJ, we believe data is the best way to drive continual improvement & build an effective delivery culture. Plandek has enabled us to focus on the delivery behaviours that drive the right outcomes whilst providing our people with a robust tool to support coaching & learning opportunities.”
