Executive technology leadership, right-sized to your company.
Technology Leadership Assessment
A fixed-fee, three-week diagnostic of your technology, spend, and risk, ending in a 12-month roadmap your leadership team can act on, with or without us, and a workspace holding the register behind it that you keep either way.
Ongoing leadership, three ways
Same executive, same standards. The tiers differ in cadence and in how much of the technology agenda we own. Move between tiers as your needs change.
Advisory
Somebody owns the list.
For companies that need an experienced hand on the big decisions and, just as importantly, a standing record of what was decided, who owns it, and when it is due back.
- Monthly strategy session with your leadership team, prepared from what has actually changed since the last one
- A live risk register: every open risk with a named owner and a review date, not a spreadsheet nobody reopens
- Contract register with notice windows tracked, so a renewal never rolls over by default
- Every decision logged and carried to done or explicitly dropped
- One shared list of what we have asked you for, so nothing lives in somebody's inbox
- Ownership of the 12-month roadmap, and annual budget planning support
- Email and phone access between sessions, on a flat fee with no meter
Growth
Most commonLeadership plus somebody driving it.
For companies with active initiatives, such as a migration, an implementation or a security program, that need someone driving vendors and projects to outcomes and checking the exposures nobody else is checking.
- Everything in Advisory, on a bi-weekly cadence
- Vendor management: selection, negotiation, and quarterly business reviews we run on your behalf
- Your cyber cover read against your own risk register: limits, sublimits, retentions, and the warranties you signed
- Spend, licences and contracts reconciled against each other, so you stop paying for what nobody uses
- Oversight of active projects and implementations, with the decisions tracked
- A quarterly business review document written for your leadership team, not your server room
Executive
Your CIO, fractionally.
For companies that need a named technology executive at the table, running the agenda, developing the team, and answering to the board with numbers that hold up.
- Everything in Growth, on a weekly cadence
- Standing seat on the leadership team
- Board preparation and attendance, with reporting drawn from the live register rather than assembled the night before
- IT team mentoring and organizational design
- M&A technology diligence and integration leadership
- Incident leadership when things go wrong
What happens on the other twenty-nine days
Anybody can sell you a standing monthly call. The reason to buy this one is the work that runs between the calls: the plan moving forward, and the things that go wrong quietly, on a date, whether or not anybody remembered to look.
The plan moves, or you hear why it did not
A roadmap is a strategy document for about three weeks, after which it is a list nobody has opened. Each item carries an owner, a date and a budget, and every session opens with what actually happened to the ones that came due, so the plan is either advancing or you are being told plainly that it is not.
Risks come back around
Every open risk carries a named owner and a review date. When a review comes due, or an acceptance somebody signed off a year ago quietly expires, it surfaces before the audit does, not after.
Notice windows close
The one deadline in technology that shuts and does not reopen. Miss the notice date on an auto-renewing contract and you are committed for another term no matter what anybody decides afterwards. We track them all and raise them while you still have the option.
Decisions get carried, or dropped on purpose
What was agreed in the last meeting is written down with an owner and a date. At the next one, the first thing on the agenda is what happened to it, so decisions stop evaporating between calls.
Your cover is read against your risks
Cyber policies pay against sublimits, retentions, waiting periods, and the warranties you signed on the application, not against the headline number. We read the schedule against your actual register and tell you which losses it would not cover.
Spend is reconciled, not just reported
Contracts, licence counts and the general ledger read against each other. Three lists that should agree usually do not, and the gap between them is a bill for something nobody uses.
Nothing lives in an inbox
One shared list of what we have asked you for and why each item is needed. You can see what is outstanding without asking, and we stop chasing you by email.
Every tier includes
Vendor independence
We resell nothing and take no referral fees. Recommendations serve exactly one interest: yours.
A single accountable owner
One experienced executive owns your technology agenda, not a rotating bench of consultants.
Plain-English reporting
Your leadership team and board get technology status in business terms: risk, cost, and progress.
A workspace you can open yourself
Your register, your contracts, your documents and everything we have asked you for, live. Not a PDF that was true the week it was sent. You can look without waiting for the next meeting.
No long-term lock-in
Retainers run month to month after an initial 90-day term. We keep the engagement by earning it.
Not sure which tier fits?
That's what the intro call is for. Thirty minutes, no deck, no pitch, just an honest read on whether fractional leadership is what your company needs right now.
