Structured development pathways for PM and QS professionals — from day one to trusted practitioner. Built around how your organisation actually works.
The stuff that makes a good PM isn't written down. It's picked up by listening in on calls, being in the room when decisions get made, tagging along to site.
Shadowing a senior colleague isn't so easy when you're both working from home. That's where the gaps appear.
Your processes, standards, and ways of working need to reach new people somehow. A PDF induction pack isn't cutting it.
Meet your people where they are — and move them forward.
A new starter joins your team. They need to know how you work — your processes, your documents, your standards. Ako is trained on your actual content and available 24/7 to answer their questions. No trainer needed. No waiting for someone to be free.
Typical use: onboarding, first 90 days, procedure reference
Your junior PM or QS is technically competent but hasn't yet built the judgment that comes from experience. Ako Develop puts them inside real project situations — using your terminology, your stakeholders, your processes — and lets them make decisions, see consequences, and talk through their thinking with Ako.
Typical use: graduate development, promotion readiness, team upskilling
Your experienced practitioner is being considered for more responsibility. The scenarios they face don't have clean solutions — competing pressures, relationship calls, commercial judgment under uncertainty. Ako Trusted doesn't guide. It challenges.
Typical use: senior development, leadership readiness, succession planning

Ako Develop
Scenario-based learning
Put your people inside a real project situation. They make decisions, see what happens, and talk through their reasoning with Ako — who asks the questions a good mentor would ask, not the ones with easy answers.
