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.
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.
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.
AvidEdge Aligned Talent
We meet you where you are, ensuring fit and readiness for future direction.
POV+
Think you have the right executive internally to fill your open Executive role, but would like an expert outside perspective? 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 to understand your strategic focus, your culture, your values, and your needs for the executive role. Then we will align on and administer agreed-upon assessments with your finalists, conduct deep dive interviews, and check their references. You will receive a report on your internal candidate or other finalists to help you make the best 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 each executive is set up for success, positioning them for quick wins and long-term commitment.

With AvidEdge, you’re not just hiring a consultant—you’re gaining a strategic partner committed to your success. Our fractional and interim technology leaders provide the agility, expertise, and leadership your organization needs to navigate today’s challenges and seize tomorrow’s opportunities.
Re:fining Your Team for What’s Now and Next
Support for Your New Strategic Technology Leader with the right technical talent to propel your business strategy forward.
When a new Technology executive joins a company, particularly when it is your first strategic technology leader or the organization is embarking on significant digital and AI transformation, there can be a lot of strategic planning and complexity in getting it right across the organization. One of the best things you can do is to lend your executive the support to find the right technical and leadership talent to close the gaps and help drive the business strategy forward.
AvidEdge is deep on Technology talent, and what’s needed now and next to succeed for the long term. We’re steeped in research, Technology, leadership, and where the business is going when it comes to Technological advances interacting with business strategy. Hiring technology leaders and pros for the new CTO requires a partner who will listen, go deep, take a hands-on approach and deliver the right match to create a strong, enduring team.
