Will Tenhaw manage a programme it is not building?

Yes, and it is a deliberate part of the offer. Tenhaw provides programme and delivery management across mixed estates of systems integrators, internal teams and specialist vendors, with no requirement that we build any of it. Delivery governance is where the practice originated and it stands on its own.

Can you supply an AI programme manager without building anything?

Yes. This rung is sold on its own and clients do appoint us to governance only. You get an AI programme director or senior programme manager, with partner oversight from James Rooney, running governance, probabilistic forecasting, dependency management and supplier performance reporting across whoever is building the thing. £18,000 to £35,000 a month depending on programme size and supplier count: the bottom of that band is about three days a week of a senior lead plus oversight, the top is a full-time lead with delivery support as the supplier count grows.

Can I hire a fractional AI delivery lead?

Yes. You get a senior delivery lead on a part-time engagement, typically two to three days a week, at a fixed monthly fee with thirty days' notice either way. The person is contracted by Tenhaw, not employed by you or placed by an agency: screened to BS7858 standard before they touch your estate, with James Rooney accountable for the work alongside them. At the published rate card, three days a week of a senior programme lead with partner oversight lands at the bottom of the £18,000 to £35,000 band.

How do you avoid a conflict of interest when you are also a supplier?

By reporting on our own workstreams in the same pack, to the same standard, as everyone else's, including when we are the ones behind. Where we hold both roles we say so explicitly to the board, and clients can and do appoint us to governance only, which keeps the governance entirely independent of the build.

What does programme management for an AI transformation cost?

Tenhaw prices programme and delivery management between £18,000 and £35,000 per month depending on programme size and supplier count, with partner oversight included. It is deliberately the lowest-cost rung: delivery governance is often where a programme is won or lost.

Why does an agentic consultancy offer programme management?

Because most agentic programmes fail on delivery discipline rather than on technology, and because that discipline is the deepest part of our track record: a decade running delivery at HSBC across 150+ teams and a $102M budget, at Anglo American across three continents, and at Discovery under a fixed launch date. Agentic transformation is a change programme with AI in it, and the change part is where programmes die.

Can you take over a programme that is already in trouble?

It is the most common reason we are called. The first four weeks establish what is genuinely in flight versus what the board currently believes, which is usually where the gap is. We will tell you what we find, including when the answer is that the programme should be descoped or stopped rather than rescued.
