How It Works
A straightforward process designed to bring clarity and strategic direction to your IT operations.
We start with a focused strategy call to understand your business, challenges, and current IT landscape.
We define priorities, establish a roadmap, and align IT decisions to business goals and risk tolerance.
We guide execution, oversee vendors, and introduce automation to reduce friction and improve outcomes.
Engagement Cadence
We work with clients on a flexible, part-time basis that fits your needs and budget. Most engagements follow one of these models:
- Regular touchpoints and ongoing guidance
- Typically 20-40 hours per month
- Best for ongoing IT leadership needs
- Fixed scope and timeline
- Ideal for specific initiatives or assessments
- Clear deliverables and completion criteria
