Services Delivery Model

Four roles, one execution pipe

Every engagement runs on the same plumbing: work arrives through Kai threads, executes inside Ark intents, and is documented on Project Hub. Four core roles sit on top of that pipe, each fully agentic, with optional Implementation Consultants where scale calls for extra delivery muscle.

How an engagement runs

Three roles face the customer directly. The Solution Lead designs and scopes what gets built; the Agentic Consultant gets it executed; the Product Expert makes the customer able to run it themselves. The Engagement Lead carries delivery and governance underneath all three.

Customer one shared channel per engagement
Designs

Solution Lead

  • Owns the design and scope of the solution
  • Owns scope content on Project Hub
  • Shapes customer needs into Ark intents for execution
  • Heaviest in Foundation, works closely with the Engagement Lead
shapes work into Ark intents
Executes

Agentic Consultant

  • Executes work from Kai threads, within the boundary of an Ark intent
  • Named per customer channel, joins customer calls
  • Full context, but executes only through Ark and agentic ways of working
requests work via Kai and Ark sweeps
Enables

Product Expert

  • Works with the customer in a training and enablement role
  • As much enablement as actual configuration work
  • Execution goes through the same Kai and Ark pipe, never sideways
Execution pipe

Kai threads are the front door for all work. Ark intents are the boundary every piece of execution runs inside. No work happens outside the pipe.

Delivers

Engagement Lead

  • Traditional delivery plus governance: timing, budget, forecasts and delivery commitments to the customer
  • Owns the project management section on Project Hub
  • Reports delivery health back to the business
  • Takes the solution live: leads from Phase 2 onward
  • Partner-side Engagement Leads are paired with an internal equivalent for overarching governance
Supports · optional

Implementation Consultant

  • 1 to 2 per engagement, when scale calls for it
  • Ramps up during Foundation, full force during delivery
  • Hands-on capacity so delivery and testing run in parallel
  • Works alongside the Engagement Lead, same Kai and Ark pipe

The same team, two configurations

The roles do not change between phases. The seating does. The Solution Lead takes the front seat in Foundation and hands it to the Engagement Lead for delivery, who augments with Implementation Consultants as required.

Phase 1 · Foundation

Solution Lead in the front seat

Design, scope and proving the solution with the customer.

Front seat
Solution Lead leads design and scope, proves the solution with the customer
Agentic Consultant executes the foundation build through Ark
Back seat
Engagement Lead sets the plan and budget baseline, governance from day one
Implementation Consultant ramps up and learns the solution (optional)
Product Expert light touch, enablement planned but not yet running
Phase 2 · Delivery to live

Engagement Lead in the front seat

Delivery, governance and taking the solution live.

Front seat
Engagement Lead leads delivery and governance, takes the solution live
Implementation Consultants at full force, 1 to 2 as required, parallelising delivery and testing
Agentic Consultant executes through Ark, unchanged
Product Expert training and adoption ahead of go-live
Back seat
Solution Lead much lower capacity, on call for scope decisions

We already run like this: the current portfolio, mapped

Every live engagement placed into the model as it stands today. The highlighted cell is the front seat for that engagement's current phase. Seats are mapped from the June resource snapshot; names marked TBD are being confirmed.

Programme and portfolio oversight (Tracy, Janet, Stephen, Danny) folds into the Engagement Lead seat or sits at portfolio level; confirmed per engagement. Partner-held Engagement Lead seats require an internal pairing per the governance rule above.

Kai: everyone asks, one role executes

Kai is open to the whole engagement for questions and triage. Execution is different: work only becomes real inside an Ark intent, and only the Agentic Consultant drives that.

Anyone on the channel

Questions, triage, context, status. No permission needed, no queue. This is how work gets shaped before it becomes an intent.

Customer Solution Lead Product Expert Engagement Lead Implementation Consultant Agentic Consultant
asks, triages, requests
Kai one front door for every engagement
two very different outcomes
Open to all

Answers and triage

Kai responds directly on the channel: answers, investigation, prioritisation. Anyone can trigger this, including the customer.

Agentic Consultant only

Execution through Ark

Requests that change something become Ark intents. Only the named Agentic Consultant executes them, inside the intent boundary, with a human accountable for the result.

Who owns what

The same four roles on two axes: whether the role primarily faces the customer or the system, and whether it builds the engagement or sustains it.

Faces the customer
Faces the system
Deliverybuild it

Solution Lead

Design and scope. Decides what is built and shapes it into Ark intents. Scope content on Project Hub. Foundation-heavy.

Agentic Consultant

Executes through Ark within intent boundaries. Named per channel, on the calls.

Assurancesustain it

Product Expert

Training and enablement. Requests execution via Kai and Ark sweeps.

Engagement Lead

Delivery and governance: timing, budget, forecasts. Takes the solution live from Phase 2. Project management section on Project Hub. Optionally supported by 1 to 2 Implementation Consultants.

All execution flows through Kai threads and Ark intents regardless of which role originates it. Partner Engagement Leads are always paired with an internal equivalent. Implementation Consultants are an optional addition where engagement scale calls for parallel delivery and testing capacity.
