The Interim Executive Placement Process

Interim CTOs, CISOs, Directors.
You Define the Role
There are multiple situations when an interim CTO, CISO or Director of Infrastructure can help organizations achieve their goals:
- Strategic Transformation – System upgrades, enterprise-wide deployments, the selection of new solutions and infrastructure, and many other initiatives can be advanced with interim CTOs who have a successful history of performing these transformations. In these situations, an interim CTO can be a catalyst for change, provide the needed leadership to drive the initiative, and stabilize the IT environment during the term of the engagement.
- Mentoring – An interim CTO can also serve as a mentor to cultivate the talent of individuals who may grow into a CTO role as they gain experience.
- Transitions – Recruiting a new CTO can take months or years. An interim CTO is a cost-effective way to bridge the gap during the transition by providing continued leadership for the delivery of in-flight projects, while protecting a significant budget component during the absence of a permanent CTO. Additionally, an interim CTO helps position and package IT strategies to minimize the transition period when a new CTO comes onboard.
- On-Demand Expertise – Budget constraints, geographic location and many other factors make it difficult for healthcare organizations to attract top talent. An interim CTO can provide needed expertise for a defined period, even for organizations that lack the budget to hire a permanent CTO with advanced skills and experience.
- Organizational and Staffing Assessment – An interim CTO can help organizations assess their staffing, skill sets and organizational needs to prepare for strategic initiatives.
Client Testimonials
The highly regarded professionals at Huntzinger were retained to perform IT strategic and technical assessment services. Their experience and proven approach was valuable in quickly creating a roadmap to improvements within our organization.
Laura Smith, VP & CIO
Unity Point Health
Huntzinger really partnered well with our team to push us where we needed a push. It was refreshing to work with a partner that was direct, honest and truthful about our condition (to include the recommendations for remediation), rather than tell us what we want to hear to secure the next contract. We rely on the hard truth to make things better.
Scott Arnold, Senior VP & CIO
Tampa General Hospital
Huntzinger's findings were extremely well documented. They gave us an IT roadmap of areas we need to currently address as we prepare for system selection and implementation.
Jim Cole, President and CEO
Virginia Hospital Center
Working with Huntzinger was seamless and they were very responsive and knowledgeable. We tended to forget that they weren't employees by the end of their work. They embedded themselves with our culture quite well.
Sherri Turcotte, Director of Clinical Informatics
Central Maine Healthcare
We have used Huntzinger for several project implementations. They were always quick to adapt to our ever-changing environment, driving our projects to successful completions.
Jeff Futterman, CIO
IntegraMed
Huntzinger's role in our big-bang implementation was central to our success. We benefited from the best practices established through their experience working with many other healthcare systems. And when a problem came up, Huntzinger would let us know if it was expected — or if it was an unexpected issue that we should hold the vendor accountable to correct.
Denis Tanquay, CIO
Central Maine Healthcare
Huntzinger assisted us in developing a detailed IT roadmap to consolidate our applications suite and structure our IT organization more efficiently to better meet the business objectives of the organization.
