Stop Guessing... Know Exactly Where You Stand
Before you build the roadmap, you must know your starting point. This service is a rigorous due-diligence audit of your technology function. I act as an independent third party, cutting through internal bias to provide the C-Suite with a factual baseline of capabilities. We answer the critical question: "Does our current IT foundation support our future business goals?"
Service overview
You cannot fix what you cannot see. Whether you are experiencing performance bottlenecks, preparing for growth, or suspecting hidden risks, my assessment provides an unvarnished, 360-degree view of your current state. I look beyond the hardware to evaluate the "Three Pillars" of a healthy IT function: Technology, Process, and People.
- Technology Stack: A deep dive into your infrastructure, software, and security posture. We identify technical debt, end-of-life risks, and licensing inefficiencies.
- Organizational Maturity: evaluating how IT interacts with the business. Are workflows streamlined? Is there proper governance? Is IT an order-taker or a strategic partner?
- Skills & Talent Capability: Assessing your team’s composition. Do you have the right people in the right seats? We map current skills against future needs to identify critical talent gaps.
- Financial Benchmarking: Reviewing IT spend to ensure you are getting market-appropriate value from vendors and tools.
Key Deliverables
The "Red Flags" Report: Immediate identification of critical security vulnerabilities or single points of failure (personnel or tech) that threaten continuity.
Capability Mapping: A clear breakdown of your team’s strengths versus the skills required for modern cloud/AI environments.
Prioritized Remediation: We don't just give you a list of problems; we rank them by business impact, separating "urgent fires" from "long-term improvements."

General questions
The goal is 'Improvement,' not 'Indictment.' I focus on gaps in process and resources, giving your team the ammunition they need to ask for better tools, specific training or more responsibility.
Strictly. The findings are delivered directly to the executive sponsor. We discuss sensitive risks (like cybersecurity holes) in a closed-door environment. The executive sponsor decides who is granted access.
My reports are written in business English, not 'Geek-Speak.' You get an Executive Summary with red/yellow/green indicators for easy decision-making. Moreover, this report will be accompanied by a presentation to review in depth details as required. Remember, "buy in" is acknowledge when the information is accepted.
I benchmark against industry standards (not by my opinion) for companies of your specific size and sector, not against unrealistic Fortune 500 standards.
"I don't just drop a problem on your desk. The assessment includes a prioritized 'Remediation Roadmap' ranked by risk and approximate cost.
