Temporary leadership competence for complex transformation processes

An Interim CTO is needed when change no longer has to be managed as a project, but as a top management issue – across departments, locations and programs. Whether it’s a change in strategy, digital transformation or cultural change, our experts ensure that decisions are made, priorities are maintained and results are delivered – even in challenging situations.

Situations that call for an Interim Chief Transformation Officer

  • Implementing a change in strategy
    How do you translate a new strategic course into clear transformation programs? An Interim CTO concentrates initiatives, budgets and resources on a few priorities and ensures that the strategy reaches day-to-day business – for measurable results.

  • Digital transformation
    Is the introduction of new core systems (e.g. ERP, CRM, platforms) imminent? An Interim CTO aligns business, IT and data agenda with common goals and focuses on measurable effects on efficiency, customer experience and speed.

  • Portfolio and program chaos
    Are you suffering from too many parallel projects without clarity about benefits and priorities? An Interim CTO cleans, bundles and redesigns the transformation portfolio – with robust program governance and transparent management.

  • Post-merger integration / carve-out
    How do you bring structures, systems and cultures together after an acquisition? An Interim CTO steers the integration or carve-out roadmap across all functions and ensures that synergies are realized while the business is stable.

  • Performance and efficiency programs
    Are there major programs for cost, structure or process optimization on the horizon? An Interim CTO combines hard efficiency goals with a well-managed change process – for clear responsibilities and milestones.

  • Cultural and leadership change
    Would you like to switch to agile, customer-centric or data-driven management? An Interim CTO adapts leadership roles, decision-making processes and collaboration models and anchors new ways of working in the organization.

  • Crisis-related realignment
    Will market disruptions, new regulation or disruptive technologies force a realignment? An Interim CTO develops a consistent transformation story for the Executive Board, management and workforce and orchestrates the necessary measures until the stable new normal.
