Services

The five questions we are brought in to answer.


Each line is advisory work. We produce the analysis, the recommendation and the case that goes to the board. We do not sell the technology and we do not bid on the build.

Advisory Lines

Scoped to a decision, priced as a fixed piece of work.

IT Strategy and Investment Cases

Where the technology money goes over the next three years, what each line buys, and how the case is written so it survives the CFO and the board. We build the operating model, the sequencing and the funding argument together, because a roadmap with no funded case does not get built.

Technology Cost and Cloud Economics

Cloud and infrastructure spend broken down to the level where a named person can own it. We build the unit economics, surface the commitments and idle capacity that are quietly funding nothing, and give finance a forecast the platform team can actually meet.

Modernization and Transformation Governance

Large programs rarely fail on technology. They fail on sequencing, on unclear decision rights, and on a steering forum that reviews status instead of making calls. We design the governance, set the decision gates, and give the executive sponsor the short list of measures that shows whether the program is real.

AI Governance and Adoption

The controls, the approval path and the economics for artificial intelligence work, set before the pilots multiply. We define what needs review and what does not, who signs off on data use and model risk, and how the value of each use case is measured once it is live.

Fractional CIO and CTO Leadership

Senior technology leadership on a defined number of days per month, for organizations that need the judgment without the full-time seat. We own the plan, the budget and the vendor relationships, run the function day to day, and write the hiring case for the permanent leader.

How The Work Is Bought

Every line runs as a diagnostic sprint, an advisory retainer, or fractional leadership.

Scope, duration and how the engagement closes are set before it starts.
