How we help your business grow

Fractional technology leadership to accelerate your business

 
At Re-flexive, we specialise in helping businesses achieve their goals by providing fractional technology leadership to scale-up and growth-orientated firms. We work with small and scale-up businesses that typically do not have an established CTO or technical leadership.

Our clients benefit from our guidance and expertise at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, allowing them to focus on achieving their business goals.

Whether you need a fractional CTO to lead your technology team, guidance on accelerating product execution, or alignment of the technology strategy with your business goals, we are here to help.

  • Automation of critical operational processes
  • Architect for scale and efficiency
  • Reduced cost of operations (cloud, software, people)

Cultural change and alignment

Are your teams aligned, do they understand your mission and their role in delivering it?  We can drive greater engagement and commitment in your team by:

  • Aligning your technical strategy with your business strategy
  • Aligning teams and individuals with your mission and vision
  • Creating cross-functional alignment between business and technology teams
