Virtual CIO, Advisory & Sensitive Reviews
Provide affordable and robust CIO leadership affordably or perform independent reviews to understand why your transformation initiative is not yielding results.
Taking out the complexity
Imagine a garden
Virtual CIO is the head gardener, overseeing the entire garden's health and growth. The plants are the technology infrastructure, solutions, data, IT people, policies, etc. The Virtual CIO doesn't physically reside in the garden (i.e. organisation) but are the strategic mind behind its flourishing. They plan for the future, manage resources, and ensure the garden's overall vitality.
Advisory is the service giving expert horticulturists advice to get the best from your technology garden. They provide specialised knowledge and advice on plant care, soil conditions, and pest control. They are the consultants who help the head gardener make informed decisions about the garden's well-being.
Sensitive Program Reviews are like a meticulous inspection of a particularly delicate flower or plant that is either sick or show signs of weakness (i.e a current digital or technology project that are in crisis), It's a detailed independent examination to assess its health, identify potential threats, and ensure it's thriving in the optimal conditions. These reviews are crucial for protecting the garden's most precious assets or new initiatives but must be done with discretion and sensitivity.

"With the sise of our company and our current budget, hiring a full-time CIO might not be realistic right now. Are there alternative solutions for managing IT effectively?​

“Something is not right with our latest digital program, because we’ve burned a lot of money, and the team is not showing the expected progress. Let’s get a second opinion.”
