Your CIO has left, a critical programme is slipping, or you need to build a Data/AI function that doesn't exist yet. I step into the role quickly, with a clear mandate, and hold it until things are stable or your permanent hire is in place. If you don't need a full-time role, the same experience is available as advisory: scoping, key decisions, support for the CIO or CDO in place.
Two-week diagnosis and first decisions.
Programmes, budget and vendors back under control.
Teams, roles, key hires.
Strategy, governance, use cases in production.
One point of contact who reports and makes the calls.
Help with recruitment and onboarding your successor.
Listening, diagnosis, priorities.
Decisions, costed plan, first visible results.
Delivery with the teams, governance in place.
Recruiting the permanent hire and a gradual transfer.
A function that works: programmes under control, a budget that holds, an organised team and a successor ready to take over.
Quickly, often within a few weeks. It's best to talk as soon as the need comes up.
Usually several months, sometimes more than a year. It ends when the organisation runs without me.
Either: directly, or through an interim management firm.
I'm happy to have a confidential conversation about your situation, with no commitment on your side.
