Fractional COO & Interim Management

Sometimes a business does not need advice; it needs someone to run the day to day. A fractional COO leads your team, meetings and priorities part time, so you can step back into the work only you can do.

What’s included

A manager holding a one-page plan during an early-morning huddle with print shop staff

What’s included

The work, specifically.

01

Weekly leadership meeting

Running a focused weekly meeting with your managers around the scorecard and priorities.

02

Manager coaching

One-to-one support for your managers so they lead with more confidence and less escalation.

03

Execution of priorities

Owning the quarterly priorities and pushing them to done.

04

Interim leadership

Stepping in during a leadership gap, illness, expansion or transition.

05

Owner time recovery

Moving decisions and tasks off the owner’s plate in a planned sequence.

06

Hiring your permanent COO

When it is time, defining the role and helping you hire your full-time operator.

?Questions

Fractional COO: common questions

How many days a week is a fractional COO?

Usually one to three days a week depending on the size of the business and what needs to change.

How is this different from consulting?

A consultant recommends. A fractional COO is accountable for doing, inside your business, with your team.

Can we hire you full time later?

Our aim is the opposite: build the team and hire your permanent leader, then step back.
