The key People dimension is often overlooked. Process and Technology dimensions cannot be transformed or operate without People.

Frameworks and methodologies will help to a degree (e.g. SFIA), but they rarely get to the nub: identifying and aligning natural potentials for maximum business impact.

The GC Index® is the organimetric that empowers organizations to drive productivity and achieve results by creating game-changing individuals, teams and cultures.

You benefit from a measurement framework and language that identifies individual and collective impact and how people contribute to the achievement of organizational goals.

Leveraging our high-calibre consulting experience in/around IT organizations across diverse sectors, we provide an adaptable, trusted-advisory role for our clients: engaging CIOs and/or their direct reports in a part-time collaboration, typically 2-3 days a month.

Whereas [expensive] consultancies may only engage for initial transformations, often done to you rather than with you, we engage to guide you while embedding capabilities and improving maturity and culture.

You benefit from full experience at fractional cost and risk.

During any CIO Office Advisory engagements, a deeper, more traditional, consulting, full-time approach may be required for an activity to hands-on deal with specific challenges and provide expertise.

Areas typically covered include one or more of: IT Strategy, Governance, Operating Models, Architecture and Frameworks.

For such engagements, we may engage our partner or associate consultancies for extra capacity.

You benefit from consultants that listen to your challenges or opportunities, collaborating with you, rather than imposing our own objectives on you.

We provide this solution offering as part of the CIO Office Advisory or IT Strategy Consulting services, whether it is directly for CIO clients or the clients of Service Providers.

The Purpose is:

• To provide you, the CIO, with a top-down health-check (NOT bottom-up audit) on your IT Function against a leading industry framework.

• To provide any external advisors/consultants with a ‘good’ Discovery baseline (full IT Function breadth and illustrative maturity depth) on which more effective proposals can be based.

These are based on an optimum balance of breadth vs. depth for a quick, effective service. Adding extra depth in any area (e.g. doing a deeper dive into Enterprise Architecture or Portfolio Management) can be discussed but these will affect the duration, customization and hence price of the service engagement.
