Operational Excellence. Experienced Guidance.
Business and Operational Leadership Helping Make the Leap
When To Work With a Fractional Tech Leader?
83% of SME’s have two or fewer IT staff, often reporting to a non-technical manager. This group may not have the time, knowledge or experience to deliver the technology strategy, technical guidance and operational oversight that all modern businesses require.
If any of this seems familiar, it might be time to consider a fractional CIO:
- Weariness from failed initiatives, increasing operational costs and a perception of IT as low value
- Operational staff taking their time to assume a technology guidance and/or implementation role
- Alignment gaps between your technology ecosystem and the business, resulting in lackluster results and stakeholder dissatisfaction
- Failure to meet regulatory or contractual requirements
- Technology limiting innovation and agility within the business
- Data loss or project failures
- Limited IT responsiveness or reported quality of service problems
- Hidden or shadow IT spending
