Short, practical guides for founders and senior leaders thinking about bringing in fractional executive support.
Definition
A fractional CEO or GM is a senior executive who leads your business on a part-time or contract basis — for organisations that need executive leadership but are not ready (or do not need) a full-time chief executive.
Hiring
Hiring a fractional CEO / GM starts with clarity on outcomes, authority, and fit. This guide covers how to scope the role, what experience to look for, and how to set the engagement up for success.
Scaling
Scaling often outpaces leadership structure. A fractional CEO / GM is most useful when the business needs senior direction, but a full-time hire does not yet make sense.
Definition
A fractional COO is a senior operations leader who works with your business on a part-time or contract basis — typically for organisations that need executive-level operational capability but are not ready (or do not need) a full-time hire.
Hiring
Hiring a fractional COO is less about the CV and more about fit with the stage and shape of your business. This guide covers how to scope the role, what to look for, and how to set the engagement up for success.
Scaling
Growth creates operational friction. A fractional COO is most useful when the business is scaling faster than its internal systems and processes can comfortably support.
Definition
A special project is a discrete, high-stakes piece of work that sits outside business-as-usual — with a clear outcome, a fixed scope, and a need for senior hands.
