Strategic support. Flexible hours. Services tailored to you.
Bring us on as a fractional COO, and we will be there when you need us. With our many years of experience, we are experts at identifying your operational needs and then executing them for you. If you’re a leader who feels like you are working too much “in” your business and not enough “on” your business or needs operational support without the added cost of a COO, this is the service for you. We can put systems in place, manage your operations for a period of time, and take the lead on certain projects–so you can focus your attention elsewhere.
This service is completely customizable based on your needs. Both short- and long-term arrangements are available.
All business leaders know that strategy is important, but most also find it rigid and daunting. We can help lead your strategic planning process so that you walk away with a clear roadmap for your business. We not only uncover your business goals but also ensure the action steps needed are in place to deliver results.
If you’re starting a new business, it’s hard to know which structure or systems you need. We can help you lay your operational foundation. Our team takes the time to learn your business goals and then ensures you have the right systems and strategies in place for a solid, sustainable (jump)start.
Whether your business is a large corporation or a sole proprietorship, it will benefit from an operational review that uncovers your greatest strengths and vulnerabilities. Our review process helps you discover business opportunities, reduce costs, and increase efficiency. We partner with you to develop short and long-term goals that foster transformational change at your company.
HR can be a complicated beast. We know how to help you structure or restructure your human resource functions for the benefit of your employees and your business trajectory. We can assist in a variety of areas including benefits, hiring best practices, conflict in the workplace, onboarding, performance management, company culture, leadership development, and employee engagement. Your company is only as strong as your people; we know how to ensure you’re optimizing and honoring your workforce.
We design workshops with your whole team in mind, bringing leaders and team members together to rally around a common goal or learning objective. Topics include team building, personal development, effective communication, and others. We plan the workshop after consulting with you, and lead the meeting ourselves so you and your team can participate together.
We believe that all businesses and organizations, large or small, should have access to experienced ops professionals that fit their needs and budget. As a fractional partner, we offer transformative advice and execution–only when you need us.
Fractional COOs offer operational help that is both experienced and flexible. Partnering with a fractional COO is a great option for businesses that may not need a full time COO, are still hiring, or just need some assistance fine-tuning their operations. Because we are only there when you need us, you can save money while receiving tailored support that helps your business grow.
