CIO Sensei is an IT Advisory Firm comprised of former CIOs, IT Practitioners, and Business Executives with “real world” experience successfully leading organizations and driving documented business results. We've recognized that most “classic” IT organizations were too focused on technology, burdened with maintaining legacy applications and infrastructure and woefully underfunded to make a real meaningful impact. Even worse, IT lacked a “seat at the table” and was viewed as a back-office cost center rather than a strategic business partner/enabler. Our experience leading several global IT organizations and working with numerous clients has helped us develop a proven, operational-based approach to successfully transform IT organizations into high performing business partners. Core Service Portfolio: Strategy, Operating Models and Talent: Assess overall organizational effectiveness, objectives, capabilities and impact. Provide access to experienced leaders and talent. Digital Transformation: Provide expert guidance to enable enterprise-wide digital transformation through major business-system IT programs. Information Management: From analytics to big data to the Internet of Things, we help organizations understand and unlock the power of their information and data. Cloud Services: Rationalize and modernize IT legacy landscapes to shift work-loads and quickly realize the benefits of cloud technology. Operational Excellence: Review the organization’s current operating costs and total IT cash expenditures vs. industry benchmarks and identify potential efficiencies. Establish a framework to run IT “like a business”. CIO Assistance: Serve as an interim CIO, mentor/coach, as well as provide transitional support services. Cyber Risk: Assess an organization’s cyber risk profile through an information-based risk approach and provide a “board-level” situation assessment.
