Learn about AgileWould you like to provide your team with the best training and support in new ways of working? Do you have a long-standing project that simply isn't delivering the right outcomes? Don't know where to start with Big Room Planning? Want us to run the best team building day ever? Talk to us about a course, workshop, or coaching. And if you were wondering how we're different from every other Agile consultancy out there ... we're fun, and really really visual.
Our work with you begins with a straight up conversation about your goals. Because Agile is a set of principles as opposed to a rigid framework, we can help you cherry pick the right amount of "Agile" for your organisation. We stick around till the job is done, or leave when you feel there is no more value to add. We never administer cookie cutter Agile rituals; instead we will apply the appropriate Agile ingredients that best suits you. We use considered change management practices to move your organisation and team from status quo to desired state.

Learn More"Agile" is an approach to software development, that's now commonly applied to non-software teams and project work. It revolves around having a shared understanding of the work, the spirit of continuous improvement, and delivering incremental bits of value to the customer. Often described as a "mindset", there are 12 Agile principles:

Since April 2019 the Teamworx team have been helping the team here at Roche Products NZ with our own Agile Transformation. We chose Teamworx because of their passion, energy and enthusiasm plus a heap of knowledge and experience in the agile space, not too mention their commitment to the local community. So now it's almost a year down the track and we've seen a real shift in the way we think and conduct our business. We have never felt closer and more engaged with patients - so important for a healthcare company - and we are far more willing to seek customer feedback rather than our own version of perfection. Our teams are more connected and proactive and there is a palpable buzz around the office. Thanks Zhi, Tracey and Ajay for helping us learn and apply agile thinking and methodologies to become a greater contributor to the NZ healthcare community.
I really want to give A HUGE shout out to Zhi, Jamie, and the Team from Teamworx. Teamworx planned and ran a teambuilding day for us. From our first briefing meeting to the sessions, Zhi ensured everything was done to perfection. I recommend Teamworx without hesitation.
2-day design sprint
Tracey created a wonderful atmosphere in the room that allowed the team to really open up and get creative. An incredible amount was achieved over 2 days! Tracey also shared great resources and information post the Sprint.
Through their excellent facilitation of our strategy session, the gentlemen from Teamworx (Zhi & Ajay) enabled us to put on a page our strategy for the next 3-5 years. They made the distilling of knowledge and experience from dozens of team-members into a coherent, easily communicable message, seem easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to(and have) used their services again.
Following initial 2 day introductory courses to Agile, Zhi at Teamworx successfully helped to support, coach and launch several internal project inceptions utilising the knowledge gained from the introductory courses.
With a flexible approach to our multi-disciplinary teams, Teamworx were able to rapidly stand up teams, support and generate engagement and provide just the right level of coaching to enable our teams to become self sufficient and self organising over a short period of time.
Engagement and output from our teams is high and we continue to roll out the practices learnt across the organisation as a result.
If you need to make positive change with your teams within your business I would thoroughly recommend Zhi and Teamworx.
We asked Zhi to come in and run an introductory course on Agile: it’s principles, its manifestations and how to use it. Wow, what an incredible amount of digestible information and practices all in a very limited timeframe. Our team came away with a much deeper understanding of Agile and how to use it as well as some practical skills that we can readily use in our everyday work. The format of theory and practice meant the team could absorb new information then use it in the activity setting to embed the ideas and have a bunch of fun while we were doing it. I would highly recommend Zhi. He was well-prepared, the information was very easy to understand and the pace of learning was perfect. His style of facilitation and teaching was excellent. Thanks a lot.
As Mercury's Agile Coach, Zhi spearheaded the embedding and continuous improvement of Agile ways of working. Zhi has a number of super powers that he uses to enable teams to work successfully together and deliver value, including: a zen-like positive vibe that can diffuse tension and frustration and help teams move forward; an extensive toolkit of facilitation methods that get the right outcomes from every session and a genuine desire to see people and teams succeed.
The workshop that Zhi presented gave me an insight into the world of Agile and gave me a desire to learn more. His workshop was interactive, experiential and most of all, fun. Setting the intention at the beginning as to what I wanted to get out of the workshop helped to keep focus and reviewing at the end gave a sense of accomplishment. I recommend Zhi’s workshops to anyone who is interested in getting a taster to Agile and beyond.
Incredible day yesterday (Big room planning). Thanks so much, Ajay, for pulling this together for us, leading and facilitating over 100 people to pull together our value stream pipeline for Q2. Still buzzing from the day.
Zhi is an effective coach, an inspiring leader and great manager. He has really built the capability of the teams in Agile development practices as well as challenging the teams to leverage their own capability in order to drive outcome driven development.
Zhi combined an insatiable appetite for learning with a deep commitment to his team. I always looked forward to working with Zhi, and particularly respected his experimental nature and his commitment to his team's happiness and professional development. I can definitely recommend Zhi's work!
