Book a 30-minute callTenhaw is a UK AI consultancy and AI delivery partner, based in London and registered in England and Wales. We help large organisations redesign how work gets done with AI, connecting the operating model, the systems people use and the support they need to work differently. Our forward-deployed teams embed two or three senior people in your organisation; the two- or three-practitioner production programme includes engineering and adoption responsibilities with partner oversight. Your team's knowledge of the work shapes what we design, build and test together. We commit to measurable value delivered every month and report against it, giving you evidence to review as the work progresses. Tenhaw provides professional services rather than a software product.
Both. Tenhaw helps you decide where AI could improve the work, then provides the people to design and deliver the change within an agreed scope. The consultancy work can begin with a fixed-price AI Readiness Audit. It examines your product, internal processes, operations and software delivery, what your data estate and platform can support, and the evidence your risk function needs before a system can be relied on. Your team's examples and constraints help us choose which possibilities to test.
If you continue into a build, our people carry that understanding into delivery inside your estate and repositories, alongside your engineers. We connect the technical work with decisions about roles, ownership and adoption, so your people can help shape the system and learn how to improve it. You can also engage Tenhaw to run a programme built entirely by other suppliers. We agree responsibility for the work and its outcomes; you do not have to buy engineering capacity from us to get programme support.
Our decade of experience is in delivery and transformation. The agentic evidence includes a working proof of concept built in two weeks inside Placing Platform Limited (PPL), paired throughout with a client engineer. The same six-month engagement then took the agentic way of working to PPL's Product, Engineering and QA teams. The case studies distinguish the established delivery record from the agentic work.
An AI delivery partner takes responsibility for getting an agreed system into production and helping people use it in their working day. The scope matters: an audit or proof of concept answers earlier questions, while a production build includes the work needed to make the system ready for live use.
In practice, delivery connects five jobs. First, decide with your team which workflows AI could help with, what order to tackle them in and what each improvement is worth in currency. Second, design the operating model: whose work changes, which decisions an agent can make, who remains accountable and what happens when it gets something wrong. Third, build inside your estate and repositories alongside your engineers, so they learn how the system works as it develops. Fourth, specify and test the evidence during design: evaluations, audit trails, escalation routes and the points where a person checks or approves an action. Fifth, help people use and improve the new workflow, measuring adoption and inviting their feedback.
Ask what you will be able to review in the first thirty days. Tenhaw commits to measurable value delivered every month and reports a month that delivers none as a failed month. That gives you a clear point to examine the evidence, understand any obstacle and decide what should happen next.

James Rooney, founder and Transformation Director. He has spent a decade working on delivery transformation at HSBC, Microsoft, Sky, F1, Discovery and Anglo American, including programmes with $100M+ budgets in scope. At HSBC he co-led the design and piloting of the target operating model prepared for global rollout to 500 teams.
James has brought that experience into a published methodology called The Tenhaw Way. He leads every AI Readiness Audit personally and provides partner oversight on every engagement, with personal accountability for the outcome. Your proposal makes the delivery roles clear, so you know who will work alongside your team and which decisions to bring to James.
No. Most Tenhaw engagements are with UK enterprises, and we also work across Europe and the United States. Past work has been delivered in the UK, Australia, the USA and Singapore. Tenhaw LTD is registered in England and Wales and based in London. For a British buyer, that means a UK contracting entity, invoicing in sterling and a team available for on-site work without an international flight. Associates complete screening to BS7858 standard, including right-to-work checks, before any access to your estate.
What matters for an embedded engagement is being available for your team's work and decisions. We agree the on-site time and working-hour overlap your people need, including access to the colleagues who understand the process and can review what we build. We can take work wherever that involvement is practical, and will tell you on the first call if we cannot provide it. Outside the UK, expect a UK-based team travelling to you: Tenhaw has no local office. Travel requirements and costs are agreed with you before they are incurred.
A forward-deployed operator is a senior practitioner who works inside your organisation with an agreed reporting line and real decision rights. They join the work where it happens: your meetings, your systems and the decisions your team needs to make.
At Tenhaw, the role connects understanding the workflow with taking responsibility for changing it. Depending on the engagement, that can mean designing roles and approval routes, building systems alongside your people, or coordinating delivery across suppliers. Your colleagues contribute the exceptions and practical knowledge that shape the work. Agreeing the operator's responsibilities and authority at the start helps everyone know which decisions they can take and when to involve you.
No. Tenhaw provides professional services for agentic transformation, embedding senior operators in your organisation to work alongside your people. You engage a team for a fixed-price piece of work or a monthly engagement. There is no Tenhaw seat count, software licence fee or software renewal. Any model or platform use in your environment is charged separately on your own accounts, so include that when planning the running cost of a system.
Tenhaw previously developed delivery-management software, and some third-party directories still describe that earlier product. The business today is a consultancy selling professional services. If you found us through one of those listings, the services and pricing pages explain the work available now.
Tenhaw's team shape suits work where a small number of senior operators can build alongside your people and take clear responsibility for delivery. We publish our prices, commit to measurable value delivered every month and report against it. The 90-day outcome programme ends with adoption, measurement and handover to your people. Any recruitment support is agreed within scope; continuation is a separate choice.
The case studies show how that has worked in practice. At Tecknuovo, we established a Portfolio Management Office from scratch and ran it across 19 projects, including public-sector delivery for HMRC, the MOD and Thames Water. Our role was portfolio governance; Tecknuovo's teams delivered the projects. In a separate engagement, we built Placing Platform Limited's (PPL) PDF-to-business-intelligence workflow on Azure as a two-week proof of concept, paired throughout with one of its engineers. An eight-week project then took that way of working to its Product, Engineering and QA teams.
A large firm may be the better fit when you need 200 people across twelve countries. Compare the team each proposal names, the responsibilities it takes on and the capacity you have internally. That gives you a practical way to judge which arrangement suits your work.
