What does Stakeholder Engagement & Co-design mean in the way Annex…

Annex treats Stakeholder Engagement & Co-design as part of a wider digital-service problem, not as an isolated output. Collaborative discovery and co-design that brings users, stakeholders and delivery teams into the process. The Annex Delivery Practice is a multi-disciplinary team composed of engagement leads, delivery managers, testers, client engagement professionals and business analysts. Project continuity and delivery engagement right from the onset of onboarding, through to design, technical build and deployment. In practical terms, the aim is better alignment and fewer hidden assumptions, with the shape of the work determined by the users, systems and delivery context.
