Strategic CIO consultancy

As the CEO of a dynamic mid-market business, you’ll know that the agility of your business depends increasingly on the technology that supports it in times of growth or change. The most innovative businesses in the market are realising the value of IT as a transformational business tool and building its potential into their core business strategy. Acora provides two ways of tackling this issue:

Outsourced IT strategist for CEOs

If you want to fully embrace the benefits of strategic IT thinking but you lack the personal experience, in-house expertise or resource to tackle it yourself, Acora can provide an affordable strategic partnership that arms you with the insight you need to really embrace IT thinking and your true business potential.  

Our strategic experts work with you on an executive level to shape your vision with the possibilities offered by the most progressive – yet entirely suitable – technology in the marketplace. We bring the objective insight, business experience and technical expertise required for crucial strategic planning. Together, we can realise your business’s potential with technologies that mean maximum efficiency, productivity, and scalability; drastically reduced risk; deep-level agility in an uncertain marketplace and all the benefits of an innovative, collaborative working culture.

Leadership support for CIOs

If your business already has a CIO or high level IT manager, but the pressure to deliver in the boardroom is compromising the value they create for the business, we can provide a solution.

The CIO role is uniquely hybrid, rapidly evolving and ever-more central to the strategic vision and competitive advantage of your business. You will be looking to your CIO for change leadership, not just knowledge. Communication and strategic thinking are core skills but rarely naturally acquired, and without them your CIO will be severely limited in their role. Your CIO must be able to sell their vision to the board; overcome scepticism and inertia and lead the business to develop a progressive, receptive and innovative culture.

Our services can leverage these skills with focussed training. These sessions are designed to target individual needs and create awareness of the core economic issues shaping the actions of CEOs today, helping to realise the essential value of the CIO role and leverage its competitive advantage sooner rather than later.
