General 2 — Your own CIO

We support executives of companies that are too small for their own CIO or CTO. We ensure that IT is well-organised and that IT contributes to business strategy.

We usually start with an assessment to create a clear plan. After that, we support the implementation of the plan. Our support is delivered in a flexible manner, tailored to specific needs of each company.

Every company needs someone who knows about IT. Digital transformation is as relevant for small and medium companies as it is for corporates. Digital customer contact, using data to improve products and services, automate business processes, enrich your business model with digital technology. Essential for growing your business.

Many opportunities, but where to start? How to make it happen? How to keep it secure? Where to get the required expertise?

Often you need expertise for a limited time for specific IT projects. Maybe you want a trusted advisor to regularly discuss your IT issues. You’re growing, but not yet big enough for a full-time CIO or IT manager.

IT strategy workshop

The IT workshop helps you in a few days gain a clear understanding of how IT contributes to your business objectives and the specific actions needed to achieve them.

We facilitate the workshop in a way that aligns closely with the company’s needs. Through three preparatory discussions, we develop a tailored setup for the workshop. Depending on the ambition level, the workshop lasts 2 to 3 days.

We use our IT Strategy Canvas as a foundation. Following a 4-step approach, we create a clear and actionable plan.

IT due diligence

With our expertise, we also support investors through IT due diligence for transactions. We assess a candidate company’s IT situation from various angles:

Fitness of applications for future strategy

Assessment of required investment

Risks regarding continuity and cybersecurity

Our assessment is based on our IT Healthcheck, Security Practices, as well as the IT Strategy Canvas.
