Membership Benefits

Support from like-minded professionals

When you join a Mentor Group powered by Freeman Clarke, you’ll find a collection of like-minded IT Leaders who will welcome you in to their established social circle. They will listen, help and encourage you to be successful.

If you’ve ever needed an impartial place to turn to when facing a difficult decision, or wanted independent insight and opinions on technology, strategy and delivery, then being a member of our Mentor Groups gives you all that and more.

What it takes to be a CIO/CTO

Not only will the Group be Chaired by a highly experienced CIO/CTO, they are also a fully qualified coach. Alongside that you will have access to the CIOs/CTOs that work with Freeman Clarke. Currently there are about 85 CIOs/CTOs working with Freeman Clarke with experience that covers thousands of years, every sector imaginable and every project, outcome, strategy or requirement possible. We believe in a pay-it-forward culture and are very happy to help others get a “leg-up” in to the top job.

Grow your network properly

We all know conferences and events are supposed to provide networking opportunities, but they’re not great – how many of us have ended up sticking with the initial group of people we started the day with? And on top of that, many of us hate networking like that too.

Our Mentor Groups provide you with a social circle of like-minded professionals at a similar career level in similar sized corporations. We carefully select the people in each group to ensure a great match. Our Mentor Groups also provide you entry in to a wider circle of CIOs/CTOs who are more than happy to engage with and help people attempting to move up their career ladder.

Access Standards

Freeman Clarke set high standards for both the CIOs/CTOs that work with them and their expectations of others within the industry. We utilise existing and in-house standards and methods to help people keep developing and growing in to the best possible person they can be. We provide focus and support for people to gain the skills required to be a fully qualified CIO/CTO.

A coach who’s been there and done it

It’s hard to know who to talk to when you’re trying to develop your own career. Your CIO/CTO is not always the right person, particularly when it may look like you’re after their job! Joining our Mentor Groups instantly provides you with access to a highly experienced CIO/CTO who’s also a coach and used to helping people grow their careers.

The Chair of each group meets with every group member on a one-to-one every month. That’s part of our commitment to you; we’ll help you grow.

Learn and Share

Just like our CIO/CTO Groups, the IT Leaders Group meets monthly. We follow a tried and tested methodology that ensures you gain from every session. We use the latest frameworks and methods grown from within Freeman Clarke, and we utilise external experts where appropriate to ensure you go back to work refreshed, energised and with an enhanced toolset.

We’re here for you. Join a Mentor Group and get the support you need.
