Interim / Fractional Operations Expertise

Companies always need operations expertise and sometimes an outside perspective just makes sense. 

Part Time Operations Support

When small companies are just starting to scale, it is often not financially possible to bring on someone with operational expertise full time. Yet, ensuring that the company has the solid operational foundation ready for expansion is critical. Laying the foundation for good governance, processes, and procedures, ability to address risk (and opportunities) and ensure alignment prepares the company for growth, so that leaders can focus on strategy rather than scrambling to ensure the pieces are in place.

Sometimes a company's leadership knows what the challenges are, but rather than attempt to address the issue themselves, they prefer to bring in outside support.

Going global, or across town

When companies expand their foot print they often, for obvious reasons, send their best person to set up operations in the new location. Unfortunately, this approach leads to challenges as it means their best person is distracted from her job and given responsibilities that may be outside her skill set. We support expanding companies by stepping in and focus on the expansion effort, from the very tactical developing relationships with local contractors, vendors, creating supply chains, setting up tax and HR functions,  to working with company leadership to determine how this new location ties in to the company - how much autonomy will it have.

Because we've worked with so many companies globally, we can identify cultural challenge points or opportunities that a company can leverage to increase the odds of success.

Interim or Fractional Operations Leadership

Changes in leadership structure can leave a vacuum that needs to be filled until a permanent replacement can step in. We provide the expertise that gives company leaders and boards the confidence that nothing will fall through the cracks while they focus on finding the best fit for that critical operations role.

Companies may be at the stage where they need assistance but not 100%, so having a skilled operator that can devote some consistent time to address the challenges just makes sense.
