Month 1
Get organized
A map of your technology: systems, vendors, contracts, costs and people. And your five priorities for the year.
SME Program
Your company doesn't need to be big to have a technology leader.
The SME Program gives you my experience at a fixed price with no surprises, for about what a junior developer costs you.
Sound familiar?
Technology decisions with no one to help you make them.
- I don't know if what I pay my IT vendor is fair.
- They want to sell me a new system and I don't know if I need it.
- If we get hacked or the system goes down, I don't know what would happen.
- Everyone talks about artificial intelligence and I don't know where to start.
- The person who looks after our systems is leaving and I don't know who to hire.
- We're growing and our technology can't keep up.
You don't need a big IT department. You need someone who helps you decide well.
How it works
Three simple steps.
We talk, at no cost
A 45-minute call to understand your business and what worries you about your technology. If the program isn't what you need, I'll tell you and suggest another option.
We get organized in three months
We get clear on what you have, what puts you at risk and where it makes sense to invest, with a concrete deliverable every month.
I support you every month
We sit down once a month to review progress and decisions, and I'm one email away for whatever comes up.
What you get
Results you can see from the first month.
Month 2
Protect
A checklist of the basics that keep your company running: access, backups, devices and email, with owners and dates.
Month 3
Decide
A 12-month roadmap with an estimated budget, buying criteria and a clear opinion on your vendors.
Month 4 onward
Ongoing support
A monthly leadership session, review of quotes and contracts, follow-up on what's being executed and a short monthly report.
Who does the technical work
I help you decide. Others execute.
I help you decide; the technical work is done by specialists from my network at accessible prices, or by your own vendor. If you need your own IT team, I can help you build it.
You choose whether to hire the specialists directly or have me coordinate them.
Who it's for
Is it right for my company?
For companies in any industry that already depend on technology and/or have no one leading it with a strategic focus, not just an operational one. If you're not sure whether it's for you, let's talk.
Let's talk about your company.
The first conversation is free and doesn't commit you to anything.
