Our Services

CIO/CTO/COO Advisory Partner

What makes IA Advisory Services different from other consulting firms?

> Work plans customized to your organization.

> Responsive and deep CIO/CTO/COO expertise.

> Our mission is to give back to other leaders and organizations from what we have learned.

> We don't “up-sell” clients. If you need significant other research or resources a larger consulting firm is the better choice.

> We believe leadership development is as key to success as technology vision and management.

> We are ideally positioned to support new CIO/CTO/COOs or small-to-medium organizations that do not have the senior leadership depth to move all needed initiatives forward.

> We are doers, not just advisors. We can help on efforts where you need expertise.

> Beneficial for CIO/CTO transitional environments to help bridge new leadership and help assess their new organization.

> Decades of experience in government sector, DoD, finance organizations, public safety, and emergency management.

We are servant-leaders and put your organization and needs first to find creative solutions to the challenges you face.

Why are your services and rates so much less than other professional service firms?

• Our Advisors are (semi) retired executives and serving professionals that are doing this in addition to their normal work to give back their knowledge and experience. We are not trying to career or company build at your expense.

• We are not building a large consulting firm that keeps trying to expand and up-sell on other services and products. A smaller number of clients with great relationships of trust lead to high quality service at a lower cost.

• Our professional fees are scaled to allow small and medium-size organizations the ability to afford our services and expertise.

• The lower fee structure, connected to a very customizable suite of modular services, help us build multi-year relationships with our clients that deliver ongoing organizational value.

• We have a virtual and hybrid work environment and low expense structure to keep costs down.

• We promote client engagement and solutions development effort, not marketing, travel, and overhead.
