Hello, thank you for joining us today on Exec Tech, where we discuss the most pressing technology topics that executives are facing today.  I'm here with Mark Johnson, Chief Executive at Xtrii, and today we are discussing what business leaders can do when they have an under-performing technology organization, or their company has technology issues that need to be addressed.  

Mark, what should a business leader do when they feel like their technology is not on the right track, or not up to their expecatations?
​
Mark Johnson
The first step is to determine where the real issues lie, and the specific areas that need to be addressed. You need the right diagnosis, and you need it in a timely manner.  Typically, we start the process with our Xtrii Rapid Review of the technology function within the company.

The Technology Review leverages a proven methodology that allows us to quickly perform a comprehensive, independent review of both the technology organization AND also the overall technology function throughout the entire company. 
​
​A company shouldn't just treat the symptoms, you need to get to the core, underlying, root cause of the issues, and implement lasting changes that truly address the entire problem.   
We have performed reviews for all sizes of companies and a breadth of industries, and we leverage that extensive knowledge and hands-on experience to quickly diagnose and provide a comprehensive "big picture" view of technology through the company, which we use to map the optimal course of action.    


Exec Tech
Are there some common missteps that you see companies make when they have technology issues? 
Mark Johnson
Yes, one of the most common missteps is to just fire the CIO or head of IT.   They swap out the technology leader, but the underlying issues still remain.   
​Again, we first recommend gathering a clear understanding of the big picture and the key issues.   If the technology leadership is one of the issues, then we'll address it along with the other factors as part of a well-thought out "Strategic Transformation" of the company's technology.

Yes, that definitely would be a much better approach.

Mark Johnson

Exec Tech
That's great a great way for them to get to know you and easy way to get the improvement process started.
