External technology leadership
Four projects. Four vendors. Who leads them as a whole?
Today you do, on top of everything else. With AIdvance as your external technology leadership, in effect your external CTO, you decide where to invest and why.
How it works
-
We study your company.
How each area works, which systems it uses and what you want to achieve. We start from what you already have underway.
-
We agree on a plan with you.
What comes first, what depends on what, and when. Every goal in the plan can be measured, and you set the order.
-
We carry out what was agreed.
Each project goes through our six-phase method, with one project lead who answers to you.
-
After delivery, we stay.
We check whether your team uses what was delivered and what changes in your business, each one on its own. With what we learn, we prepare your next decision.
We lead the whole, and the decision stays yours.
You decide
We lead
What you want to achieve and who decides in your company.
We study how it works and bring you the options, each with its reasoning.
The order: what comes first and what waits.
We build the schedule around what your team and ours can take on.
What gets built, what gets bought and what does not get done.
We carry out the agreed projects, each with a project lead who answers to you.
Whether to continue, change course or stop.
Every month, at a committee with you, we review the report and each goal against its starting point. What you decide is numbered and put in writing.
How your proposal is built
Before you sign anything, we prepare the plan with you. You reach the agreement knowing what gets done, in what order and why.
Understand your company
- What you want to achieve
- Your ambition for the company and who makes the decisions in it.
- How it works today
- An area-by-area diagnostic backed by evidence: we separate what has been checked from what is still a hypothesis.
Design the plan
- Initiatives and options
- For each need, the options: improve the organization, buy, integrate or build.
- Schedule
- What comes first and what depends on what, based on what your team and ours can take on, with goals that can be measured.
- The numbers on both sides
- What the plan means for your company and what it means for us, out in the open.
Agree on it with you
- Working session
- You move initiatives, change the order and comment, without accepting anything yet.
- Proposal and agreement
- We put what you decided into one complete proposal. If it works for you, we sign the agreement.
There is no catalog price: the financial proposal is built with your plan, and you see all of it before you sign.
Who it is for
Who it serves
A company with several technology projects underway, each with its own vendor, that needs someone to lead the whole without taking the decision away.
Who it does not serve
Anyone who needs one specific project and nothing more: that is what our Consulting practice is for. Nor anyone looking for a report to file in a drawer.
Frequently asked questions
-
Do I lose control of my projects?
- No. You decide what gets done, in what order and toward which goal. We prepare each decision with its options and reasoning, and carry out the agreed projects. Every month, at a committee with you, you see the report and decide whether to continue, change course or stop.
-
Is this just another report?
- No. The plan is where it starts: then we carry out the agreed projects and stay after delivery, to see whether your team uses what was delivered and what changes in your business.
-
What happens to the projects I already have underway?
- The plan starts from what you already have underway and takes it into account when we decide with you what comes first and what depends on what. Whatever we agree to build, we build ourselves.
-
How much does it cost?
- There is no catalog price. The financial proposal is built with your plan, and you see all of it before you sign.
-
How much of my team’s time does it take?
- The plan fits what your team and ours can take on. During preparation we agree who takes part and when, so the day-to-day work of your company keeps going.
-
What if I change my mind?
- The plan is reviewed with you at every committee: the order can change, and initiatives can be added or dropped. What has already been delivered is yours.
