Fractional COO for nonprofits & small to medium sized businesses
What is a Fractional Chief Operating Officer?
-
Senior operator, part-time
-
Bridges strategy with day-to-day priorities
-
Milestone-based, not hourly
-
Remains in place long enough to establish habits before stepping back for regular check-ins.
Why consider Fractional?
You get expertise on demand, a flexible scope, lower fixed costs, board/ED alignment, and reduced risk.
When to consider a Fractional COO?
Likely signs are when
-
you're having a lot of turnover or
-
you're having trouble implementing your strategic plan or
-
you've thought to yourself, 'there's got to be an easier way of doing this...'​
What type of organizations do you work with?
1) Stabilize or turnaround
When goals are missed, or unplanned cash crunches keep popping up, or there's too much turnover of your people.
​
2) Scale up with growth
When demand spikes, you add locations, or you’ve secured a major grant and now must deliver more than current routines are used to carrying.
3) After a leadership transition
New ED/CEO or interim leadership, shifting priorities, and the need to execute without losing momentum.
How does this work in practice?
I usually work on-site with you 1–2 days/week for 3–6 months. I can expand or reduce depending on need, and there's always a clear end state and set of deliverables.
