First phase
Review
Analysis of the technology landscape and the decisions pending this quarter.
The problem
Strategic technology decisions don't happen once a year. The leadership team needs expert judgment on an ongoing basis, not a one-off consulting engagement that disappears after the report.
When does this make sense?
When the leadership team needs an independent technology advisor on a recurring basis, without bringing on a full-time executive.
