Did you know that Akeno offer retained service agreements for requirements such as:

📈 Transformation (from strategy to implementation, and continual improvement)

💻 eCommerce (from strategy to implementation, and ongoing expertise)

✅ Programme and project delivery (project management, PMO, business analysis, and more)

👫🏽 Change management and stakeholder engagement (including cultural change)


And here’s why our clients tell us the arrangement works so well for them:

🧡 Access to relevant resource in a timely fashion

💙 Resources are engrained and immersed in the business, which removes onboarding time lags

🧡 It’s a cost effective way to access the most senior and knowledgeable resources

💙 Stakeholder familiarity - we operate as an extension of internal teams, building a natural and productive rapport that boosts productivity

🧡 Speed of delivery - no need to agree scope and wait for POs to be signed off. Resources are always ready to deliver.

💙 Flexible - simplified and profiled options available to take account of business requirements, and peaks and troughs


Here’s what one of our retainer clients says about their arrangement:

"Having retained resources, and a wide delivery scope, was a game-changer for me and my team. From strategic, to tactical, to operational deliverables, Kerry and the Akeno team were there to deliver, often at the very last minute, and always to the highest standard. We couldn’t have done it without them."
