CTO as a Service

CTO as a Service gives you a fractional CTO, a senior technology leader who is part of your organisation for an agreed number of hours each month instead of full time. It is made for organisations that need the work of senior people but do not yet have the capacity to fill a full position.

Your fractional CTO leads the engineering practice, shapes the company’s technological roadmap and drives the incubation of new capabilities. We give tech a voice in the organisation and enable an informed conversation about how the organisational structure is affecting delivery performance.

It is often the right choice when questions like these keep coming up.

• Is the tech roadmap supporting the long-term business goals?
• When is the right time to modernise our legacy systems?
• What is currently a bottleneck for faster delivery?
• Do we have the right balance between speed and stability?
• How can we improve team collaboration?
• Do we have a clear picture of our technical debt?

Process

We take on the responsibilities typically associated with a CTO. We always start by assessing the maturity of your development lifecycle and the stability of your current services, so we know where the effort is best spent.

From there we help strengthen your delivery framework and optimise organisational habits for clarifying priorities, resource planning, roadmapping, budget alignment and development processes. We stay close enough to the teams to know what is going on, and far enough from the daily pressure to keep the long-term direction in view.

When your organisation has grown to the point where a full-time CTO makes sense, we help you define the role, find the right person and hand over.
