Frequently asked questions

What does Tech Advisory cover?
Business-to-technology translation across digital transformation, AI adoption, workplace modernization, and platform selection. Deliverables typically include solution positioning briefs, vendor evaluation matrices, roadmap prioritization, and adoption support — in English, French, or Dutch.
How is Tech Advisory priced?
Single advisory sessions start at EUR 1,200. Half-day workshops at EUR 3,500. Monthly retainers from EUR 4,500/month for ongoing executive and board-level advisory. Travel within Belgium included; outside Belgium invoiced at cost.
Why does trilingual capability matter for Belgian advisory?
Belgium operates across three language communities: French (Wallonia, Brussels), Dutch (Flanders), and English (international and EU institutions). Effective technology advisory requires native-level communication in all three — a capability most consultants lack. Matthieu Pesesse operates natively in EN/FR/NL.
Who is a typical Tech Advisory client?
Mid-market and enterprise stakeholders — CIOs, CTOs, COOs, Heads of Digital — facing platform-selection, vendor-consolidation, AI-adoption, or workplace-modernization decisions, particularly in regulated or multi-language operating environments across Belgium and the EU.
Can Matthieu Pesesse act as fractional CTO?
Yes. Fractional CTO and Tech Advisor retainers are available for organizations that need senior technology judgement without a full-time hire. Engagement typically runs 1-2 days per week or per fortnight, with quarterly executive briefings.
How does Tech Advisory differ from project management?
Tech Advisory shapes decisions: what to do, why, and in what order. Project Management executes those decisions: who does what by when, and how delivery is measured. Engagements often combine both — advisory for direction, PM for execution.
