Fractional CTO

For clinic groups and hotel groups.

I am the part-time technology lead.

No one owns the technology decisions. Work you already paid for missed its cost or its schedule. The other sites run the same work a different way.

What you can send to the people who own the company: three problems, each with a cost, then up to three actions in order. Your tech lead still runs the team.

When to call

• You have no technology lead and no written technology decisions
• A project missed its cost or its schedule
• The next twelve months need a different result
• Leaving this for six months leaves the same problems in place

What you can send on

• How the work runs at one site, and whether the other sites match
• Three problems, each with a monthly cost
• Up to three actions, in order, and what you decided to leave undone
• A plan with one owner and a rough budget for each item
• A note when the work should stop

LAST DevOps System

• Learn. The decision: how the work really runs, and the three biggest things slowing it down.
• Assess. The decision: what is risky, what it costs each month, and which choices are waiting.
• Strategy. The decision: the real problem, and up to three things to do, in order.
• Translate. The decision: one owner and a rough budget for each item.
• DevOps. The decision: keep going, move on, or stop.

Questions

What does this fractional CTO do?

I am the part-time technology lead. I follow one piece of work through the systems, write what it costs, and leave you with up to three actions in order. Your tech lead still runs the team.

Who is this for?

The person running the company, and the tech lead who has to make the sites work together. The group already operates at more than one site.

How is this different from a full-time hire?

A full-time technology lead is in the building every day and runs the team. I write the plan and stay while your lead carries it out. You decide when to stop.

How is this different from a development company?

A development company builds software someone has already specified. This engagement settles what to do before anyone builds it.

What do you receive?

A short report at the end of each step. Three problems, each with a cost. Then a plan with one owner and a rough budget for each item. The last note says keep going, move on, or stop.

How does it start, and what does it cost?

On the first call you describe the group and the system that is costing you. I say whether I can help. Scope and fee go in a letter after that call. There is no public price.

Book a first call

We'll talk it through and see if I can help. Sometimes the honest answer is no.
