Akin is a focused, strategic, and creative business leader. He not only has the ability to create opportunities but can implement strategies to yield successful execution. He is very astute at enabling top down and bottom up communication across an organization, assisting in problem solving activities that bring real solutions. He is also one of those very rare people that have the innate ability to breakdown any walls that can be dysfunctional to an organization. Skill, passion, energy and talent are all appropriate in describing Akin [of Dawning Systems] and the benefits he would bring to any organization.
It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Akin, who serves as the OCM Lead Consultant on our on-going ERP project. From the very beginning, Akin demonstrated exceptional expertise and leadership, guiding our organization through a complex transformation with remarkable skill and dedication.
Akin’s deep understanding of change management principles and ERP systems was evident in every aspect of the project. His ability to develop and execute a comprehensive change management strategy ensures that all stakeholders are engaged, informed, and prepared for the transition. He has expertly navigated the challenges of aligning diverse teams and fostering a culture of collaboration and adaptability.
One of the standout qualities of Akin is his exceptional communication skills. His ability to listen and address concerns promptly has fostered a sense of trust and confidence among the team, which was crucial for the project’s success.
Akin has also brought a wealth of practical experience to the table, providing invaluable insights and solutions that helped us avoid common pitfalls and stay on track.
In addition to their technical and strategic prowess, Akin has exhibited a genuine commitment to the well-being of our people.
I wholeheartedly recommend Akinkunmi Odulate [Dawning Systems] for any OCM role. His expertise, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to excellence makes him an invaluable asset to any project.
