Salary Expectations

Deploying a Digital Information Officer (DIO) is not like turning on software. While DIO is trained and ready for rapid deployment, its real power lies in how deeply it integrates into your organization’s unique systems, workflows, data landscape, and leadership priorities.

That’s why we include a one-time Onboarding Fee - to ensure DIO is configured, contextualized, and aligned to your environment for maximum value.

According to Forrester, it takes the average CIO 4–5 months of wages before they begin to demonstrate measurable value to leadership. That delay of a few months is largely due to time spent aligning data sources, securing access, learning the business, strategy and objectives and navigating organizational readiness.

This is about the same level of investment that you will make with us for Onboarding DIO for you - the good news is we do all this work. With DIO, we’ve streamlined this process—but some level of onboarding is essential to ensure DIO acts like your business’s own autonomous executive - DIO then delivers for you from Day One!   Every new hire needs effective Onboarding to deliver outcomes.

Just like a high-performing sales executive has an On-Target Earnings (OTE) package tied to delivering results, DIO® represents a new kind of performance-driven investment and as part of the overall package we will negotiate we will agree a sensible commission with you to reduce annual costs for you and reward DIO performance.

Its value isn't theoretical—it’s measurable, and we do measure all of your benefits and savings in real time.

DIO delivers tangible outcomes: more closed deals, faster decisions, fewer missed risks, and smarter use of team time.

By aligning your investment with DIO’s real impact—hours saved, revenue unlocked, risks avoided—you get clarity on return. You’re not buying technology—you’re hiring outcomes.
