随着初创企业的发展,CTO经历了其职责的绝对转变,这些转变越来越远离其核心技术能力并进入管理领域。
当初创公司进入超增长阶段时,这种变化变得特别明显。现在,CTO的时间用于招聘,管理,评估和策略,而不是编码。
Some embrace it. But for others – these responsibilities become too far removed from what they got in the game for.
“There is a very low level of founding CTOs that remain at their company as they approach IPOs and exits. When the startup grows up, they feel it's no longer fun and want to go back to coding”, explains丹尼尔·贾乔拉(Daniel Jarjoura),创始人独角兽CTO程序。
然而,那些准备接受新角色的人将很难在此过程中获得帮助。在首席执行官享受过多的指导和材料的地方,CTO的支持系统缺乏供应。
First, you code, then you hire, but what's next is a mystery that CTOs are usually left to unravel on their own.
独角兽CTOprogram
独角兽CTO是为期10周的计划,适用于快速发展的初创公司,希望扩展其工程团队,成长为领导者,并加入一个雄心勃勃的同伴社区。
The first iteration of the program recently concluded with stellar reviews from all 13 European CTOs representing half-a-dozen countries. One of those is托尼·马尔格姆(Tony Malghem),CTO令牌:
“ 2021标志着我作为CTO的第一年。说我很害怕是一种轻描淡写。多亏了Unicorn CTO计划,我才能够遇到与我相同问题的同行,并且有机会见到丹尼尔(Daniel),他确实教会了我很多东西。”
该计划每年举行四次,由三种学习方法组成:
- 内容 - 为参与者提供了一套精选的材料,可以在自己的时间上进行,由书籍,博客以及Unicorn CTO制作的视频组成。
- Coaching – group coaching and one-on-one sessions between participants allow everyone to better understand and navigate their changing role.
- Community – participants are further divided into subgroups, based on the stage of growth they're at. In their smaller groups they tackle and discuss common challenges.
该计划完全遥不可及,每周举行两次会议。每周都会解决一个主题,例如招聘,人员管理,绩效,管理等。参与者在本周初定义一个挑战,并讨论其结束时的结果。
一个ny high-growth CTOs are welcome to participate. While the program is geared towards European startup CTOs, others can join, provided they're able to make it work from a time zone perspective.
谁不能参加?Jarjoura非常清楚地表明,与有抱负的CTO相比,只有活跃的CTO才能适用。为什么?“这就像高管MBA。如果您没有职位,那将是非常理论的。”
建立更强大的公司
“我的愿景是,即使他们的角色发展,也要让更多的CTO继续与他们的创业公司保持联系。公司受益于技术DNA的创始人,尤其是当另一种选择是雇用一家大型公司的高管时,技术方面是次要的。”
通过从CTO收到的所有早期反馈的共同线程是他们更好地了解自己的工作。不仅在解决特定问题方面,而且在人们的期望以及如何更好地支持其公司的增长方面。
Before launching The Unicorn CTO, Daniel himself was part of a high-growth company. He also spent some time working with CTOs and Heads of Engineering one-on-one, before realizing that there are deeper structural issues that every CTO faces. Namely, they would avoid training because they simply didn't know what they needed it for or what the future held for them.
