Internal impartiality is very difficult to maintain. It's a struggle for insiders to focus beyond the work at hand, and even strategic managers have a difficult time maintaining true objectivity. Many decisions are rationalized by models, analysis, and opinions that justify a bias and lead to disappointing results.

Implementing an approach that maximizes effort by knowing what to leave undone is an even greater challenge for most organizations. We have extensive experience reeling projects in to deliver maximum value and teaching organizations how to do this for themselves. We don’t reduce scope to achieve deadlines. We focus businesses on the things that affect profitability.

Every business is unique, and our engagements revolve around that approach; whether telling you what to buy at the corner computer superstore or conducting a formal case study with focus groups and statistical analyses.

We broaden your team’s vocabularies and perspective and ensure that everyone has the same goal: to increase profits.

What works for one business does not work for another. Most consultancies propose layers upon layers of rules and procedures so they can produce consistent (not brilliant) results through average 'consultants'. These layers are more commonly known as frameworks, like ITIL, Six Sigma, ISO, and SAS. Seeing all problems through the lens of a foreign framework is seldom the answer.

Most consultancies have a familiar problem, which is the financial need to grow faster than their ability to find talented people. This is so important, we’ll repeat it: Most consultancies must grow faster than their ability to find talented people.

Traditional consultancies also operate on a double to triple billable model to cover their overhead. Clients are typically charged two to three times what the consultant working on your project earns. Your high priced consultant is very often a much more junior technician.

Not only are most consultants not experienced or knowledgeable enough, but come with their one size fits all approach. In many cases most businesses are no better off than they were before.

we define best practices as the practices that work best for your business.

White Paper: Why The Experts Don't Get It.

Your CIO To Go is your technical and operational secret weapon.

Our model is simple and different. We are a very small group of talented principals that operate with extreme efficiency and don’t have the need to scale down quality by growing in size. We speak geek, we speak English, we respect both. We make the connections that others don’t and understand what makes businesses and projects succeed.

We are so confident we can succeed where others have not that we back our work with a full refund guarantee. If you do not believe we have met our mutually established objectives, we refund your fees in total. This has always been our policy. We encourage you to expect this guarantee from all your consultants. When they waffle, call us.

We have built our business by remaining exclusive, small, and being the best at what we do. We’ve created a tightly knit group of talented consultants, and will always remain this way.

Most consultancies are ironically not equipped to quickly integrate themselves into an organization and deliver excellent solutions (read Why The Experts Don't Get It).

No matter how small your business is, we have solutions that work. Whether you inherited your nephew's Mac, an infested PC, setting up your first network, or moving to a new accounting system, we can help you efficiently and economically.

Sole proprietors, small business partners, and start ups have one thing in common: They don't have the time or money to worry about their computers, their networks, or their technology. Sometimes running to the corner computer store is the best solution, sometimes it's not. We debunk and demystify technology so you can get back to what matters to you.

No matter where you are in the business development cycle, we understand your needs and deliver simple and elegant solutions that give you alternatives so your technology investments help you achieve your goals, not hurt your bottom line.

Your business is off the ground, and your technology needs are modest. Operations are reasonably smooth and your technical overhead is low. You don't have an IT department, and the thought of one is foreign.

You may be considering expanding your presence using the web or a marketing campaign, and throughout the dizzying array of choices it's clear things can get expensive and ugly pretty quickly.

You may also be considering a 'system'. Perhaps integrating your point of sale with your financial package or a customer service application.

Which solution is best, who can best make it a reality, and how can you distinguish between the sales promises?

We have solutions that are specifically geared toward small growth businesses. We help you make sound choices quickly, economically, and can advise, implement, or anything in between. We also regularly advise our clients to stay put and put a decision off for another day.

Your business is mature, and your systems have grown organically over the years. You have a network, email and file servers, and have a service that regularly updates your virus software.

Your systems are beginning to show their age and lack of cohesiveness. What was originally best of breed is now a cobbled together solution that instead of enabling your growth is starting to inhibit it. You can leverage your existing systems for a while longer, but when will it ever be a good time?

Upgrading seems inevitable at some point and your advisors either suggest more of the same or very expensive integrated solutions. How do others do it without a major capital expenditure?

We have extensive experience advising and implementing solutions for mature businesses. We also have a proven track record of advising when less is more, or when now is not the right time.

You're an astute professional, have been in business for a significant time and are surrounded by other professionals. Your systems are largely in place but their cost, complexity, and how well aligned they are with your core business is a source of frustration.

Silos are beginning to form and your teams focus on technology much more than they should. Workarounds are common and too many people do things differently.

Too many organizations forge ahead despite common business obstacles, compromising productivity and profit. Technically savvy executives, faster systems, and quick fixes don’t maximize your company’s return.

Whether considering new strategies, or responding to internal frustrations, we deliver breakthrough performance through our in unique combination of process engineering, enterprise architecture, and business development. We have 20 years of technology management experience and have successfully specialized in the challenges that executives face on a daily basis.

We make the connections that others don’t, and equip your team with the tools they need to effectively succeed.

“Your CIO To Go demonstrated the ability to quickly connect specific facts from the various disciplines in the company, which allowed them to see and articulate the larger issues. This ability was extremely valuable to me and to the company in general.

They are action oriented and implemented well thought out plans. I found them to be very intelligent, well spoken, and energetic, as well as being able to present complex issues orally or in writing in an organized manner.
