Advisory Services
Meeting you where you are. Helping you meet your future.
We know executive search and we go deep in Technology. Yet we know your needs extend beyond that. That’s why we offer an array of services that round out and support the assessment, planning, design and building of Technology Talent and Functions.
Assessment Advisory Services
We meet you where you are, assessing Fit & Readiness for future direction.
POV+
Think you have the right executive internally, to fill your open Executive role, but could benefit from an external executive assessment? Or maybe you are down to some finalists, but would like a deeper assessment to help you make your decision.
AvidEdge experts will meet with your leadership team regarding your position opening to understand your strategic focus, your culture, your values, and your needs for the executive role. Then we will align on and administer our assessments or your preferred assessment with your finalists, conduct deep dive interviews, and check their references. You will receive a report back on your internal candidate or other finalists to help you make the right decision for what’s now and next at your company.
Once you’ve made your selection, we offer AvidEdge Onboarding – our exclusive 90-day coaching service that ensures that each executive is set up for success from day one, positioning them for both quick wins and long-term commitment.
Technology Function Assessment and Recommendations
AvidEdge experts will meet with your leadership team and team members, gather data on the current organization structure, goals, and roles, as well as the technology stack, and then review these factors in the context of business vision and strategy, as well as the technology roadmap and relevant technology benchmarks. The outcome of this work will be an objective identification of technology function strengths and vulnerabilities and recommended, prioritized actions to move the Technology function forward.
Planning Advisory Services
We meet you where you are, planning for success.
Technology Roadmapping
Prepare for Your First Strategic Technology Leader with a Roadmap Built for Execution
When your company reaches a point where technology leadership becomes critical, hiring a CIO, CTO, or CDO is a major step.
Yet hiring without a clear, objective technology roadmap in place puts both your business and your new leader at risk.
Instead of expecting your new executive to build a plan while learning your business OR unintentionally hiring a Technology executive not suited for your future Technology path, AvidEdge’s Technology Roadmapping Service helps you set the foundation first.
We independently assess your current technology environment, align strategy to your business goals, and deliver a clear, actionable Technology Roadmap—plus a customized leadership profile and job description to guide the hire. Your new technology leader will step into a ready, strategic framework—focused on execution, growth, and impact from day one.
Technology Talent Roadmapping
Think you have the right executive internally, to fill your open Executive role, but could benefit from an external executive assessment? Or maybe you are down to some finalists, but would like a deeper assessment to help you make your decision.
AvidEdge experts will meet with your Technology leadership to understand current talent and future talent needs in terms of skills, capabilities, productivity demands and more in the context of business vision and strategy, as well as the technology roadmap. The outcome is a technology workforce plan to help you gain clarity on what talent and how much of it you need now and later to execute effectively.
Design and Build Advisory Services
We meet you where you are, designing and building your future together.
Organizational Vision and Design
We work with the Technology Leader and C-Suite Team to craft an organizational vision and then help design the Technology function and roles, aligned to your technology roadmap and company strategy, that will meet your needs now and into the future.
Technology Leadership Success Model
Clarifying the core capabilities in terms of competencies, skills, and behaviors creates clarity in terms of expectations at various levels of the organization, covering both leadership, as well as core technical expectations at each leader level. Clarity ensures more effective collaboration, innovation and productivity, while supporting career development and growth, as well as hiring of top talent. We work to understand your organization, strategy, values, and future direction to craft a framework that works for you.
