Background

CIO Transition Group, Inc. is an association of seasoned CIOs and IT Executives who work as interim technology executives for businesses experiencing a temporary IT leadership gap.  These gaps can be initiated by the business, in which case Interim CIO services can be used in advance to prepare the organization for the leadership gap, or as a reaction to the departure of an IT executive.

Industries

CIOTG's IT executive management skills are applicable to any industry.  However; particular industry-specific expertise is focused in the areas of healthcare, distribution, education and management consulting.

Interim CIOS

IT issues in transitional situations tend to be people or process, rather than technology-oriented.  For this reason the overriding criterion for selection of our Interim CIOs is their strong relational and team-building skills.   Just as essential is thier ability to build and maintain relationships with "C-level" executives.  Our interim CIOs typically have significant "Big 5" IT management consulting backgrounds coupled with extensive "hands-on" CIO experience.  This provides them the depth and range of experience to deal effectively with virtually any IT management issue.  Superb technology credentials are fundamental prerequisites.

Experience leading large ERP implementations and innovative web-based projects developing "Unique Selling Proposition" applications gives our Interim IT Executives the technical background to handle complex program/project management and development issues.  Their experience in conception, development and implementation of large Regional Data Centers including provision of high-availability software, hardware and communications systems gives them a deep understanding of IT operational critical success factors.
