Most $20M to $100M companies don’t have a technology problem. They have a boundary problem.
When a CIO seat is vacant, the line between "keeping the lights on" and "steering the ship" disappears. Without a Strategic Firewall, every tactical fire becomes a strategic priority.
The Symptom: Your IT team or MSP is working harder than ever, but your long-term business goals haven't moved an inch in six months.
The Check: Look at your IT approvals from the last 30 days.
- Are you signing off on new tools because they solve a localized "pain"?
- Or are you approving infrastructure because it scales your 3-year roadmap?
If you can’t tell the difference, you’ve lost the Firewall.
The Continuity Goal: During a leadership transition, your job is to freeze "Innovation Drift." You must empower your team to over-index on stability and security while hitting "pause" on complex new projects that require long-term executive ownership.
Don't let a temporary vacancy create a permanent technical debt.
