Executive Committee
Distinguished Fellows
Subject Matter Expert Advisory
Each C-suite executive leverages deep end-to-end operational and industry knowledge within their domain of expertise.
Avasant Fellows provide highly specialized consulting services as subject matter experts (SME), including IT, IS, BPO, process and digital transformation, and other supported services. Avasant Fellows are also able to act as a ‘virtual board of directors’ for senior managers.
Innovation and Executive Workshops
Oftentimes, organizations are unable to bring the right expertise and innovation to decision-making.
Avasant Fellows provide strategic leadership that supports strategic decision-making through 2-3 day workshops that can help plan for:
• Digital Innovation
• Organization Transformation
• Driving innovation through Technology
• Information and Cyber Security
• Platform Modernization and Cloud Strategy
• Process Improvement and Automation
• Network/Telecom Architecture and Sourcing
• Industry-specific Transformation and Technology Strategy
CIO “As a Service” and Interim CXO Roles
Each Avasant Fellow has, on average, 20 years of experience as an industry C-suite executive.
Organizations today are struggling to maintain best practices and retain operational skills to manage IT in-house. Avasant Fellows provide hands-on interim management, assisting with all aspects of strategy, management, and performance. The Fellows provide clients with strategic leadership that helps organizations budget, prepare, and manage IT portfolios, IT expenditures, vendors, and changes in technology. By building a proven, long-term plan for business IT needs, Avasant Fellows can help clients improve service, reduce costs, and operate with increased efficiency. Avasant Fellows can also fill interim executive roles as CIO, CISO, CTO, COO, and CSO as needed.
