Implementation Readiness
Prepare your teams, decisions, and leadership—before implementation begins.
Enterprise software can unlock huge value—but only if your teams are ready. Misaligned priorities, unclear decisions, and rushed timelines derail even the best-designed implementations.
That’s where Akahai comes in.
We work with your organization before the rollout begins—facilitating the alignment, structure, and clarity your project needs to succeed. Our approach ensures that when implementation starts, your team is already moving in sync.
Preparing your organization for software implementation. We align cross-functional teams, define key decisions, and embed guidance during the rollout—so your implementation moves faster and lands better.
Why Implementations Struggle
* Data synthesized from industry sources, including BCG, Gartner, Panorama, McKinsey, and more.
Every enterprise change is a marathon. Show up unprepared, and you’ll feel it by mile three. We build the alignment, clarity, and stamina your teams need to go the distance – Train before your next Change Marathon.
What We Solve
- Cross-functional teams aren’t aligned around priorities or goals
- Key decisions are unclear or delayed
- Internal chaos threatens vendor timelines and success
- Change management is reactive instead of strategic
Why it Works
- Faster implementations with fewer surprises
- Better adoption through clear decision-making
- Stronger vendor collaboration and fewer support escalations
- Reduced delays, rework, and downstream confusion
How We Help
We guide the work before the project kicks off — ensuring teams are aligned, decisions are clarified, and implementation starts strong. Additionally, can provide a hands-on, embedded consultant, to act as your centralized source of truth guiding the implementation from start-to-finish.
Readiness Workshops
Facilitated sessions that align cross-functional teams, define decisions, map dependencies, and clarify what success looks like. We help teams step into change aligned, informed, and ready to move.
Embedded Consultant
We embed as your internal guide throughout the implementation—bridging teams, unblocking decisions, and helping you navigate complexity as it emerges. When the unexpected happens, you’re not alone. We’re already in the room.
Strategic Advisory
We advise executives through high-impact transitions—shaping vision, sharpening the message, and keeping leadership aligned when stakes are high and outcomes matter most.
