The situation
The IT CFO faces a familiar gap: technology leaders who manage delivery well but treat cost as someone else's job. Budgets are opaque, forecasts drift, and the project portfolio lacks consistent IRR and benefits discipline.
Tooling alone won't fix it. The organization needs both a system of record for IT finance and a change in how technology leaders behave as owners of money — which is why the program pairs a portal with a stewardship movement, not a rollout.
What we're doing
- 01Building a Finance Portal with the IT CFO — cost transparency, forecasting, and reporting in one place, designed around how IT leaders actually make decisions.
- 02Driving a behavioral-change program to make financial stewardship part of every IT leader's job, not a finance-team afterthought.
- 03Instilling cost-management and IRR/benefits discipline across the project portfolio.
- 04Rebuilding financial forecasting and the reporting rhythm to the business units.
The goal
- IT finance that is simple, easy — even fun — so engaging with budgets stops being a chore.
- Technology managers who run their budgets like owners, making year-over-year base-cost reduction a habit rather than a mandate.
- Portfolio decisions governed by cost, IRR, and benefits discipline.
- Forecasts the business units can trust.
