A CIO when you need one, for as long as you need one.
Many agencies and smaller entities need executive technology leadership but cannot justify, or cannot fill, a permanent senior role. Others have a leader in place but need extra capacity for a strategy, a major procurement or a difficult transition.
How we help
Tarrion Consulting provides experienced technology executives on a fractional, interim or project basis, backed by a team that can do the analysis and write the documents.
CTO or CIO as a service
An experienced technology executive working inside your organisation for an agreed number of days a week or for a fixed term. We lead the technology function, chair governance forums, manage vendors, mentor the internal team and represent technology at the executive table. We have held these roles in Commonwealth entities and know what the role has to deliver.
Digital and ICT strategy
Strategies that an executive can approve and a technology team can execute. That means genuine stakeholder engagement, a clear evidence base, a small number of well argued priorities and investment ready material rather than a glossy document that sits on a shelf.
Roadmaps, architecture and options analysis
Application and infrastructure options, solution architecture, cloud transition planning, build, buy or share assessments, and the business case to support the chosen path.
Operating model and service management
ICT operating model design, ITIL based service management uplift and governance frameworks that match the size and risk profile of the organisation.
Procurement support
Requirements definition, approach to market documentation, evaluation support and contract transition. We know how panels and procurement frameworks work from both sides.
Change and transition
Planning and managing the move to new systems and ways of working, so the people affected are ready on the day it changes.
- Small and medium agencies, statutory authorities, regulators and not-for-profits without a full time CIO
- Organisations between permanent appointments
- Executives who need an independent technology voice at the table
- Programs that need a strategy, roadmap or business case produced quickly and to a standard that will pass review
Strategy and implementation plan, roadmap, investment proposal or new policy proposal inputs, governance charter, operating model, and regular executive reporting during an interim appointment.
