C-Suite

What Is It?

C-Suite is the overarching term for executives working at the Chief position in an organisation, such roles as a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) or Chief Technology Officer (CTO). At this level, the role includes setting the strategic direction for the organisation as well it is the culture, policies, processes and ultimately having accountability for the organisations performance in a defined area.

Why Assess It?

There are many reasons to conduct a C-Suite engagement, five of which are below.

Immediate Support

Hiring in a C-Suite executive with a technology background can take months. However, undertaking a virtual C-Suite approach means the position can be filled almost immediately.

Independent Expertise

A good C-Suite executive brings an independent viewpoint, shaped by their own thoughts and experiences along with the benefit of the knowledge of previous companies. A virtual C-Suite appointment amplifies these benefits due to their increased visibility of organisations, whilst retaining their independence in working for your organisations benefit.

Technical Knowledge

Long term C-Suite position holders can over time have aging technical knowledge, as organisations slow their growth due to sizing or simply have different challenges to the ones you face now. A virtual C-Suite appointment ensures you get up to date, deep technical knowledge relevant to your organisation without an adjustment period being needed.

Strategic Insight

Having a C-Suite executive position filled virtually allows an abstract view of the organisation to be obtained, building into clear strategic direction alongside your organisations objectives and values with a view of building strong foundations for the organisation to grow from.

Build Confidence

Appointing a virtual C-Suite executive can build confidence in the wider organisation as it demonstrates the organisations commitment to making progress and using efficient and agile resources to do so.
