IT strategy & roadmaps
A technology roadmap linked to where the business wants to be in 12–36 months, with outcomes, owners, costs and dependencies, and what you'll stop doing.
Services
IT that earns its keep, and keeps earning it
I help you get more value from your existing IT team by connecting what the business needs to what IT delivers. Technology becomes an enabler that drives the business forward and adds measurable value, rather than a cost of keeping the lights on.
Signature retained offer
Fractional IT Value Partner
Ongoing strategic IT advisory
Senior IT leadership for a set number of days each month. I connect what the business needs to what IT delivers, keep priorities moving and challenge decisions, so your existing IT team adds more business value. Trusted specialists support delivery where needed.
It's designed for businesses whose IT broadly works but isn't yet creating the value it could, and for leadership teams who want an experienced voice on their side when technology decisions come up.
Talk about a partnership- Keep priorities movingRegular priority reviews with leadership, and a protected improvement backlog your IT team can actually finish.
- Challenge decisionsRequirements defined before suppliers are engaged; recommendations, costs and renewals challenged independently.
- Connect IT to business valueTechnology work tied to cost, service, growth and risk, and reported in terms the board understands.
- Get more from your IT teamCoaching, sponsorship and protected time, so your existing team removes problems rather than services them, and starts adding value.
- Bring in specialistsTrusted specialists for delivery where needed, kept focused on your outcomes.

How it works
Specialist advisory
Where I can help
Delivered as part of a partnership, or as a focused piece of work on its own.
Supplier & technology selection
Define the problem and requirements before suppliers are involved, then challenge recommendations, costs and contracts, so you buy what you need, not what you're sold.
AI & automation readiness
Practical guidance on using public AI tools safely, and a shortlist of opportunities chosen for measurable value rather than hype.
Acquisitions, carve-outs & in-sourcing
Bringing systems and teams together, standing up independent IT after a separation, or bringing outsourced IT back in house.
IT team coaching & mentoring
Support and development for your in-house team, so they can take on complex projects, think more commercially and rely less on outside help.
Risk & resilience at board level
A business-level view of technology and cyber risk: what could seriously disrupt the company, how quickly you'd recover, and what belongs on the leadership agenda.
Other ways to work together
When you need something more defined
Fixed-term projects
Full-time or part-time support for a defined project, combining technology, project management and change management, delivered within an agreed timeframe and budget.
Fixed-hour contracts
Capped costs for budget certainty, with flexible timelines that adapt to your pace. You stay in control of timelines and costs.
Will you replace my IT team?
No. My approach is to work with your IT team, not against them. In most businesses the team already knows where many of the problems are; what they lack is time, sponsorship and clear priorities. I help create those conditions, and coach the team to make the most of them.
What size of business do you work with?
Mid-sized businesses where IT broadly works but could be creating much more value: typically companies that have grown, changed or acquired faster than their technology has kept up.
We don't have an in-house IT team. Can you still help?
Yes. Many of the same questions apply when IT is outsourced: who defines what the business needs, whether suppliers are delivering value, and whether your technology can support your plans. I can act as your independent IT lead and challenge suppliers on your behalf.
Where should we start?
Take the free three-minute IT Value Check. If it raises questions, the 40-Point IT Review goes deeper across six areas. Either way, a free consultation is the easiest way to talk through what you've found.
How does the Fractional IT Value Partner work?
We agree a set number of days each month and the outcomes they're focused on. I work with your leadership team and IT team, join the meetings where technology decisions are made, and bring in trusted specialists if delivery needs extra hands. It usually follows an assessment, so we start from an agreed 90-day roadmap.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the scope and how you'd like to work. The assessment is a fixed-scope piece of work; the partnership, projects and fixed-hour contracts each give a different balance of flexibility and cost certainty. We'll agree the right option, and the price, before any work starts.
