Interim, Part Time & Fractional Leadership
Short-term executive capability
Whether you're facing a temporary capability or leadership challenge, need extra executive-level strategic direction and support, or require a fresh perspective to drive digital transformation or technology change, targeted assistance using a fractional CIO/CTO is an effective strategy.
An interim or fractional technology executive suits businesses that need occasional technology expertise without the commitment of a full-time hire. It may be for a specific period of time, or a consistent engagement over a longer period.

Software Engineering Leadership
Building software to delivers business outcomes
Architecting, designing, and building enterprise-grade software is challenging and can be expensive. However, with the right experience and a focus on best practices and technologies, it is possible to significantly and positively impact both the top and bottom lines. Whether building new software solutions or products, implementing productivity improvements, increasing scale while enhancing quality or modernizing technology and delivery processes, having an experienced executive-level software engineering leadership partner can help deliver better outcomes more quickly.
Knowing where to look for improvements in software engineering requires experience in engaging with technology teams and understanding "what it takes" to build software, all while maintaining a commercial focus based on data-driven metrics. The use of progressive and relevant metrics can provide clear insights into performance, identify bottlenecks, and enable data-driven decision-making. Importantly, these metrics drive continuous improvement and can even boost the intrinsic motivation of engineers to go the extra mile, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of software development efforts.

Technology Deep Dive
Independent reviews, M&A / Due Diligence
When launching initiatives that require technology change to grow your business or impact the bottom line, ensuring your technology foundations are sound is a critical step. This can be achieved through a technology deep-dive review, which delivers an independent perspective of the technology environment and its readiness. Such a review enables your initiatives to move ahead with confidence.
Inorganic growth initiatives can bring technology risks and unanticipated costs. Planning and executing a methodical technology due diligence process is vital, and partnering with a technology expert experienced in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and due diligence (DD) is critical. This ensures that potential risks are identified and mitigated early, allowing for smoother integration and more predictable outcomes.
Engaging expertise in technology due diligence activities allows you to identify potential roadblocks early on, enabling more informed decisions regarding M&A and corporate activity. This can accelerate integration timelines, reduce the risk of technology-related issues, and improved overall ROI from M&A investments. Additionally, it can enable optimisation of post-merger integration plans by aligning technology strategies with business objectives, driving long-term growth.

Cyber
Cyber security strategy & reviews
The current cybersecurity landscape is increasingly complex and dynamic, with businesses facing sophisticated and persistent threats from cybercriminals, state-sponsored actors, and insider threats. Compliance with stringent industry standards like NIST and ISO is crucial to avoid legal and financial repercussions.
Advanced techniques such as ransomware, phishing, and zero-day exploits are becoming more prevalent, necessitating robust, proactive security measures. Amid these challenges, businesses must also contend with a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, making external expertise and advanced threat detection services vital for maintaining a strong security posture, ensuring compliance, and safeguarding sensitive data and systems. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when and being ready to respond and adapt.
