IT Leadership Coaching
Guidance for Your IT Leader
Many IT leaders have grown up in the organization with the focus of keeping the lights on. They are very good at supporting the day-to-day operations but are challenged in being the strategic IT leader the organization desires. Our IT leadership coaching services focus on transforming the way technology is prioritized, delegation of duties, value to realization. With our help you can transform into an innovative IT leader.
Governance and Change Management
Structured Decision Making
Change is hard especially when the impact to the business and employees is not foreseen or planned. Putting a formal framework in place for evaluation and decision making can help to ensure technology investments and changes are supporting the business objectives.
Technology Assessments
Digital Evaluation of the Business
Organizations spend a tremendous amount of money annually on technology and the investments continue to go up every year. In many cases, executives question the cost and continually try to reduce this cost.
A technology assessment evaluates not only the annual spend, but also the solutions that are in place and the value they are bringing to the organization. Benefits of a technology assessment include observations and recommendations that can lead to improved efficiencies, reduced costs, and better alignment of technology to the strategic goals of the organization.
