One Off - As needed

01

Coaching

Build the capability

For executives and leaders navigating what comes next. These sessions create the space, the structure and the clarity to find a formula forward. Whether the challenge is a high-stakes decision, a career transition, a leadership moment or simply feeling stuck, the work is built entirely around the specific situation.

Coaching works best when there is time and appetite to learn alongside doing. Each session establishes what gets done before the next, and progress is reviewed at every meeting. The goal is long-term capability embedded in the individual and the organisation, not a short-term fix.

Coaching Topics

  • You want to develop your Portfolio, Program, Project, Change or Comms Skillsets

  • You want background support in navigating a complex change or transformation

  • You have taken on a new role and are still finding your footing

  • You know what you want to say but struggle to say it with authority

  • You are starting a business and need someone to think it through with

  • A decision is sitting with you and you cannot see the way forward

  • You have outgrown your current role but do not know what comes next

  • You want to negotiate better, ask for more or push back with confidence

  • Something needs to change but you cannot put your finger on what it is

  • You are capable of more and you know it

How it works: Complimentary 30-minute discovery call to establish fit. Hourly rate and session cadence agreed upfront. Clear outcomes set for each interval. Progress reviewed at every meeting.

02

For organisations and leaders who need senior expertise applied directly to the work. The approach is to design, plan and ensure the right people are assigned, then hand execution back to the team, remaining available for questions and progress checks until value is realised.

Advisory is often faster than coaching and suited to situations where the team has less time or capacity to learn while doing. Senior expertise is applied precisely where it is needed, then stepped back. A Statement of Work can be agreed for more complex or extended engagements.

Advisory Topics

  • IT and digital strategy connected to business outcomes

  • Operating model design and capability taxonomy

  • AI strategy: where to start, how to prioritise and how to govern it

  • AI adoption: where to start and how to govern it

  • Cost reduction: what to cut and what not to touch

  • Vendor and MSP ecosystem management

  • Portfolio governance and investment prioritisation

  • Global Capability Centre design and transition

  • Stakeholder management and board engagement

  • IT reputation: becoming a credible business partner

  • Agile and DevOps transformation

  • Setting up or scaling a business

  • Business branding and web presence

  • Workforce and organisational change

  • Outsourcing and multisourcing strategy

Advisory

Shape and Guide

How it works: Hourly rate for shorter engagements. Upfront Statement of Work for more complex or extended work. Tight governance ensures deliverables are met to plan. Available as ad hoc support or structured engagement.

Interim

Lead and Deliver

For organisations that need senior leadership on the ground, not on the periphery. The mandate is taken on, the team is joined, and the work is delivered end to end.

This is the right mode when execution cannot wait and the work is too significant to manage alongside everything else. An upfront Statement of Work defines the scope, outcomes and timeline. The engagement may run solo, with a delegate or alongside a member of the team. Scope changes are managed by change request. Governance controls outcomes throughout.

Interim Mandates

  • Kwartiermaker

  • Fractional or interim CIO and CDIO

  • IT and AI strategy design and implementation

  • AI programme leadership and governance

  • Large-scale transformation and complex change

  • Programme recovery and reset

  • Operating model redesign

  • Portfolio, programme and project management

  • PMO establishment and governance

  • Outsourcing, multisourcing and GCC transition

  • Change, adoption and communications leadership

  • IT due diligence for mergers and acquisitions

  • Vendor and contract management

  • Digital workplace and collaboration platforms

  • SDLC and software delivery leadership

How it works: Upfront Statement of Work. Onboarded as part of your team. Regular governance checkpoints control scope and outcomes. Change requests manage any adjustments. For larger mandates requiring a full delivery team, see Alteria.

Calling all CEOs, CIOs and IT Leaders

Almost three decades of partnering with CEOs, CFOs, CIOs and IT leaders as a trusted advisor and the person who just gets things done. The gaps below are some of the most common and most costly. Each one is a solvable problem. Click through to read more, or get in touch directly. Every day these gaps cost significantly in efficiencies, effectiveness, reputation and budget. For larger mandates that need a full delivery team, Alteria brings access to a network of equally credible leaders and managers.

You have invested significant time building a meaningful strategy. Everyone is still working on something different. Here is how to turn the deck into decisions.

01

Your strategy looks excellent. Does your team know it exists?

02

Your leadership team agrees in the room. Then works in silos.

This is the right mode when execution cannot wait and the work is too significant to manage alongside everything else. An upfront Statement of Work defines the scope, outcomes and timeline. 

03

Your ecosystem has expertise Are. you getting its full value?

Your partners bring capabilities, experience and ideas that rarely make it beyond the contract. Here is how to build partnerships that actually move the needle.

04

Your IT costs need to come down. What can you afford to cut?

Licensing, hardware, suppliers or workforce. Each choice has consequences for the business and your ability to deliver. Here is how to identify the savings and the trade-offs.

05

IT is a cost centre. Not a business partner.

The reputation of the function is low, the seat at the table has not been earned and business leaders do not see IT as a value-add contributor.

06

Your project portfolio has no governance.

Projects run in parallel with no transparency, no prioritisation and no trust from business leaders. There is no credible view of what is happening or why.
 

07

Operations consume  the capacity you need for transformation.

P1s, legacy debt and firefighting are crowding out everything strategic. The team is exhausted and the backlog is growing.

08

You are facing a significant workforce or structural change.

Nearshoring, offshoring, GCC design, outsourcing transition or a workforce reduction. Each requires transparent, experienced leadership to navigate well.

09

A complex change is underway. Or failing.

Large-scale implementations need the right leadership from the start. Recovery needs someone who has done it before and can reset without losing what has already been built.

10

Your AI agenda is moving. But not forward.

Activity without structure, investment without visibility, enthusiasm without a plan. The organisation cannot report on what is happening or the value being returned.
