UpStreme Consulting - Interim CxO

In rare instances, organizations may suddenly find themselves either in pending CIO/CTO/COO transition, or with no technology executive at all. There are very few instances where an organization can absorb or manage this risk for any period of time.

More importantly, the organization rarely has the internal talent to qualify, select, and then quickly and accurately transition a new leader into the role.

UpStreme assists our clients by:

At the option/discretion of the client, UpStreme may temporarily fill the role of CxO for the enterprise during the search, hire, and transition period. This process is easily managed through a clearly defined set of bounds, authority, communication, and escalation procedures.
Immediately providing an assessment of the environment. In addition to establishing the baseline situation and defining the capabilities needed of the new technology executive, this document will act as part of the transition plan after the hire is completed.
Assist HR or an external recruiting firm in defining the role and creating the appropriate job description.
Review and Interview all prospective candidates. Assist in tuning or redefining the job description based on respondents qualifications.
Provide written opinions of prospective candidates to the senior management team and/or the board.
Provide input and training in the transition phase for the new technology executive, including a detail walkthru of the original assessment document.
