Improve on the recommendations internally

 If you have the capability internally, you can act on the recommendations directly. 

b.

Optional: Engage an independent CIO/CTO consultant

StackUp can connect you with our community of highly experienced, independent CIO/CTO’s, typically with 20 years+ of experience, and who can provide independent verification and insights based on your StackUp results.

Whether you want industry-specific advice, or insights on a specific aspect of the StackUp assessment (eg Security, Cloud, AI, Vendor Management, Innovation etc), these senior specialists can help you cut through the noise and look like a superstar within your team. 


c.

Optional: Engage a specialist service provider

 If you’d like assistance leveling up a specific aspect of your technology, StackUp’s community of independent service providers can help.

We can connect you with a trusted specialist service provider in the specific area you want help with.

Typically they’ll provide a free initial discussion to help you determine the best approach for your organisation to level up in that area, and what engaging them looks like.

StackUp is fiercely independent platform (not a service provider) and won’t favour one supplier over another. 


6.

Track your progress

You can resubmit at any time to track your progress.

Most organisations like to re-submit quarterly, or more frequently if they’ve made significant improvements (go to Step 3).
