Clients with CIOs enjoy better performing departments, clearer vision, better alignment of technology with strategic direction, and more satisfied users. They also tend to have more cost-efficient operations. This is all driven by an individual that has time to run the department instead of getting bogged down in support issues.
Many BCG clients need the direction, vision, and insight of a CIO but can’t afford one full-time. Early in 2007, BCG will formalize a Contract CIO service - something we’ve been providing informally for some time. Several of us have been CIOs for construction companies and are fully capable of providing such expertise part-time. Clients that work with our consultants soon realize that a little objectivity, experience, and leadership go a long way.
Most CIO engagements involve little more than quarterly visits and regular communication; the length of involvement depends greatly on organizational size and the complexity of the IT environment. For many, an initial diagnostic visit helps us understand the applications, hardware environment, and staffing situation. Part of this process includes a web-based survey of the user community to get a better handle on support, remote access, and system performance. Interested?
