Steer your digital operations, even without a full-time CIO.
You make the IT decisions, but IT is not your main job. Outsourced CIO support helps you structure your decisions and follow their implementation.
When decisions become hard to connect.
Contracts expire on different dates. Each supplier promotes its own solution. Internal requests pile up. You need to know what is urgent, what can wait and what genuinely prepares the business for growth.
A coordination role defined with you.
Skill Group can support you with the assessment, setting priorities, coordinating the parties involved and tracking projects. Your management keeps the decisions. The purpose of the support is to make the options and their consequences easier to understand.
An agreed pace and agreed deliverables.
Scoping sets out how often you meet, who takes part and which documents are useful: roadmap, decision tracking, risk points or budget trajectory. Technical projects and day-to-day support are kept separate from this governance role.
The right first topic.
Start with a pending decision: replacing an application, opening a new site, taking over contracts or coordinating several providers. It helps define what shared governance should bring to your organisation in practice.

Your questions
Is this an alternative to hiring?
It can meet a partial or temporary need, without automatically replacing the functions of an in-house team. The right model depends on your situation.
Who decides on investments?
Your management. Proposals and their order of priority are prepared to inform your decisions.
