Flexible, technology leadership can provide these benefits:
A Strategic Technology Partner is a Fractional or Part-Time senior leadership role.
Our Strategic Technology Partners are renowned for their ability to communicate effectively, bridging the communication gap between technical and non-technical team members.
They have considerable experience in software development having a minimum of 10 years experience as software developers.
They have a passion for technology. They understand code, infrastructure, architectural patterns, performance/scaling, support, tech-debt, maintenance, back-end, front-end, mobile, cross-platform, AI, etc…
They have demonstrated professionalism and effective communication skills having excelled in leadership roles with responsibilities for strategic direction, hiring, managing and mentoring.
They have a keen understanding for what makes a company successful. They pay attention to customer satisfaction, revenue generation, market trends, innovation and operational efficiency.
They bring up those around them, fostering a culture of experimentation, learning and continuous improvement.
They know how to organize teams and technology to achieve business objectives.
A Fractional or Part-Time role allows companies to save on cost while still accessing top talent. This can be a perfect fit when you either don't have the budget or the workload to bring on someone full-time.
Fractional roles provide flexibility. They are able to adapt to a fluctuating workload allowing companies to ramp up or scale back as needed.
Fractional roles provide a simpler way to identify and acquire top-tier talent without the need for long-term commitment.
We typically begin with a 2 month initial engagement. This serves a few purposes.
Once the initial engagement has been completed, we will be in a good position to evaluate the needs of our partnership going forward. At this time we fine-tune how much dedicated time will be needed and clarify expectations and responsibilities.
Our Strategic Technology Partner provides the right person for the right amount of time. Typical engagements range from 1-4 days a week but could be as low as a few hours a week or as high as a full-time interim position.
Once we agree on a commitment level, our Strategic Technology Partner will be dedicating their time to thinking about and working on your business. We are proactive. We work together to identify the most valuable initiatives for your organization and work with you, your team and your vendors to implement them.
Throughout the remainder of the week, we are available to answer messages and participate in calls. We understand that not everything fits into a nice schedule, so we stay flexible where needed.
Should an emergency occur, or the amount of effort you need from us temporarily increase, we'll be there to support you with flexible billing.
Almost all organizations can benefit from the advice and expertise of a Strategic Technology Partner. What differs is the amount of time needed.
Whether you are a technology producing company, or looking to become tech enabled, a Strategic Technology Partner can help you overcome a broad range of technical challenges. We help you maximize your investments in technology, process and people to achieve your business objectives. We provide expert guidance on complex technology issues and help you make informed strategic decisions about technology.
