Executive Resources Division

Employing business strategy in your organization is crucial in competitive markets.  A strategic CIO can introduce opportunities through emerging technology developments, including harnessing technologies which enable teams of people (employees and/or customers) to creatively collaborate. By introducing a number of other technology-powered business objectives, a dynamic CIO can achieve the highest impact on the goals of the business. Strategic technology investments support all other strategic growth initiatives. It is important to have a visionary leader in this role.

Oftentimes, companies are not in a position to have a full-time person in a high-level strategic CIO or Management role. With our firm, clients have access to the best and brightest by using JDR's Interim CIO service. JDR's CIO teams have found that gaps often exist between technologists and business managers. This may result in sub-optimal performance; or worse, a missed opportunity for competitive advantage in the marketplace. JDR assists companies and their executives in planning for success. In particular, we complement our clients' technical staff with expertise in strategic planning to achieve business objectives, organization plans and technology governance in the enterprise, and acquisition strategies to include leasing and creative services acquisition. We are also skilled in project management methodologies with subject matter expertise, contract negotiations for telecom and other technical services and selection of key applications programs, including ERP. Business continuity planning and other best practices can have a large effect on your organizations' profitability. JDR's CIOs have experience creating, reviewing and monitoring technology strategic plans, including reviews and recommendations. We provide Interim CIO's on an as-needed basis to fill your short or long-term needs, or we can work out a fixed monthly cost.
