C-level decisions in IT rarely fail due to a lack of intention. They fail due to a lack of clarity and the time it would take to establish this clarity in the ‘traditional’ way. Between legacy landscapes, data silos, security requirements, M&A pressure and AI hype, an environment is created in which even good teams spend too long discussing or prioritising too late.
This is exactly where Dategro Executive Advisors come in: five digital, specialised consultants who guide executives through key topics of modern IT transformation in a matter of minutes: clearly, factually and decision-oriented. The goal is not to open up another world of tools, but to deliver an executive briefing that noticeably improves discussions, priorities and next steps.
What executive advisors are and what they are not
The advisors are deliberately designed to be low-threshold: immediately usable, free of charge and without registration, directly in the browser. Each session provides a brief assessment and concrete next steps.
Transparency is also important: the advisors are based on modern AI curated with Dategro methodology and experience. They do not replace individual advice and are not legally or financially binding. They serve to prepare decisions.
The C-level benefit: Why this is relevant
From the perspective of CEOs, CIOs, COOs, CFOs and deal teams, the advantages can be summarised very clearly:
1. Immediate orientation – where do we stand technically and strategically?
2. Management-relevant insights – results in a language tailored to decision-makers.
3. Capacity to act – concrete next steps instead of vague reports.
4. Holistic view – IT structure, M&A, data, alignment and AI are interlinked.
5. Future-proofing – act early, before the market or systems create pressure.
6. Low barrier to entry – no installation, no registration, no sales pressure.
This makes the Advisors particularly valuable for executives who cannot block out weeks for preliminary analyses but still need strong, well-founded decisions.
The five advisors at a glance
Each advisor addresses a typical bottleneck in modern transformation:
- LINA: IT landscape consultant
For anyone who needs to ensure stability and scalability before complexity and technical debt become obstacles to growth. LINA provides support in assessing the current situation, identifying integration and consolidation potential, and prioritising steps.
- AVA: AI Readiness Consultant
For decision-makers who want to treat AI not as an experiment, but as a controllable, secure scaling issue. AVA considers maturity in organisation, data quality, architecture and governance and derives next steps.
- MARIO: M&A IT Analyst
For investment and strategy teams who want to make IT risks visible before deals: technical debt, integration capability, system compatibility including quick check, risk heat map and PMI recommendations.
- DATA: Data Value Unlocker
For companies that want to know where their ROI in data integration and automation actually lies before launching new programmes.
ALIGN: Digital Strategy Coach
For management teams that want to ensure that the IT roadmap, strategy and specialist departments are truly synchronised, with a focus on roles, responsibilities and governance.
For whom is which advisor the fastest entry point?
- CEO/COO: often ALIGN for prioritization and impact across departments.
- CIO/CTO: LINA for stability, dependencies, and the next architectural steps.
- CDO/Head of Data: DATA for integration ROI and quick wins.
- CFO/Deal Team/PE: MARIO for rapid IT risk transparency in transactions.
- Innovation/Strategy: AVA for a realistic AI roadmap with a governance focus.
How to use Advisors as an executive workflow
The greatest leverage is achieved when advisors are not used as a “nice-to-have chat”, but as a short briefing before concrete decisions :
- Before meeting with a digitalization partner
, you come to the meeting with clear questions, priorities, and a shared language. This “preparation promise” is at the heart of the Advisors website.
- As a pre-read for steering or budget rounds:
Instead of first debating starting points, the meeting begins directly with options and next steps.
- For 90-day prioritization,
the Advisors deliberately provide prioritized recommendations that can be translated into a compact quarterly backlog.
