Case Study: Vodafone accelerates digital transformation with Shibumi

How Shibumi has supported and accelerated digital transformation across the Vodafone Group

Vodafone UK was undergoing a significant digital transformation to pivot from a traditional telecom company to a technology company. This required managing and governing a vast program with approximately 100 transformation initiatives across the business. Their challenge was that tracking benefits and governing this immense activity was impossible with traditional methods like spreadsheets, which were inefficient and lacked control.

Shibumi was implemented as a governance and business benefit tracking tool to address these challenges. The solution provided automated approvals, standardized reporting, and a clear framework for capturing benefits. This resulted in a massive reduction in the time spent on governance per project, from an estimated 72 hours to about a quarter of that. Shibumi enabled Vodafone to accelerate its UK transformation and is now being rolled out as a core part of its methodology to other global operating companies.
