Fractional CIO - CIO Advisory from Wicresoft

Wicresoft offer a CIO Advisory Service. Any company can benefit from this service, but it is particularly suited for organisations on a high-growth trajectory wishing to elevate or re-shape their IT strategy, accelerate digital transformation or implement a business change programme.

Even companies who are not on a high-growth trajectory may benefit from a CIO; they may be disorientated or without strategy and our CIO Advisory Service could help accelerate their trajectory.

 

Our CIOs

Our CIOs are highly experienced and excellent communicators at all business levels, with a successful track record in a variety of organisations (including many Blue-Chip and FTSE 200 clients) in different market sectors. They have a vast amount of experience in developing and implementing operational performance improvements and can bring additional skills, knowledge and experience to your team through their extensive partner network.

Our CIOs can assist in many areas which include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Providing guidance and support in terms of the general direction of the business
  • Defining what IT strategy is required to underpin this
  • Assessing the supply chain that is needed to support the strategy
  • Recommending what kind of partners are needed to achieve the agreed business objectives
  • Creating a roadmap of how to reach these objectives
  • Managing multiple programmes and multiple teams
  • Building investment cases to present at Board level
  • Advising and presenting to the Board
  • Unifying and gaining buy-in from Directors and Managers with a view to working as one team around digital transformation and business change
  • Acting as a catalyst to bring an element of pace and purpose to the business
