Often, when there is a director/head of technology, his responsibilities also include operational tasks, those which can also be taken care of by an engineering director, a director/head of operations or a chief architect. On the other hand, the competence of a CTO is often linked to the diversity of experience and training. By using a CTO on demand, companies benefit from a skill that is kept up to date as much by the variety of mandates as by the quantity of technologies that he encounters or by the diversity of the ways of doing things that he must put into perspective. A term of 3-6 months full-time or 6-12 months part-time is often reasonable to set up a technology roadmap that will last 3-5 years with minor mid-term adjustments.
