Holding Ground Decision Intelligence provides candid and independent strategic technology assessment & diligence services for investment companies, CEOs, Boards, CIOs, and other C- levels. Holding Ground is often brought in at the time when critical questions are on the forefront, for example, "would this company's technology support my investment thesis", "should this technology strategy continue, and if so, how can it be more successful", "why is the digital transformation program underperforming and what should be done to set it back on course", "why is this vendor/partner relationship not working and what steps are needed to improve". At the conclusion of an assessment, a thorough and very direct set of observations and recommendations are provided ensuring executives are equipped to make well-informed, appropriate, and practical decisions for any particular business-technology critical situation. Holding Ground's partners are career technology executives - not career consultants. Each project is undertaken as if the partners themselves were to assume the technology executive role; the evidence-based assessment outcome reflects how they would research the situation and approach the crucial decisions at hand. Holding Ground does not bid for follow-on implementation or management consulting work, which might cause a conflict of interest. The focus is solely on providing solid Intelligence in the face of challenging Decisions - a Holding Ground for executives while charting their next course of action.
