Who doesn't need more more their CFO? Even the CEO sometimes does.
By communicating in simple business-driver terms you can get more from your CFO and even get your board to see the business value.

3. CXO Advisor
CXO Advisor is concerned with the effects of technology, not the technology
itself.
We are concerned with the effectiveness of IT in the business.
We helped a customer increase his IT budget by 47% after being told to
reduce it by 20%
IT budgets are being squeezed, and CIOs are being told to do more with less
4. Our offering
For CIOs who need more resources and trust, we use our unique 3 Role
Model to:
Generate the cash needed to deliver IT without fuss
Provide real business results
Take a leadership position in their organisation
5. Our approach
We position your existing budget within the 3 Role Model
We map where your current IT spend is going and the effect of that
We clearly identify shortfalls to CFOs
Addressing the King III imperative of resourcing your strategy
We develop a high-level roadmap for doing more with less
We help you explain your budget (and shortfalls) in easy to understand terms
so your executives participate in your budget and its intended consequences
6. Our results
A client gave their CIO a 16% increase, where they had told all department
heads that the maximum increase was 5.5%
A client identified that IT’s current activities were mismatched with their
business strategy because they weren’t funding IT correctly
A client identified that innovation and growth activities in IT were being
extinguished because they were squeezing the IT budget
A client authorised a R500 million network upgrade based entirely on
intangible benefits
In all cases, executives said:
“This is the first time we’ve actually understood
what IT does, and can do for us”
7. Our proposition
We will get you more funding
We will improve your executive’s understanding of your proper role in your
business
We will ensure that you do the right IT for the right reasons
If you find yourself in a hole, it’s a good idea to stop digging
You will have to do something different
