Why You Need a Fractional COO

Over the past couple years I have seen fraction c-suite executives more and more. When I got a further understanding of the term, I realized "hey, I'm already doing this!" Many founders have ideas to solve so many pain problems but lack the balance needed to truly execute their visions and fulfill their missions.
Fractional COOs come with a wealth of knowledge and skill. When starting out, most small businesses do not have the funds to hire full-time C-Suite executives, so the owners end up going without, doing everything on their own, or depending on subpar service from where they can put a band-aid on a gaping wound. Engaging a Fractional COO is a small investment, because they can build the SOPs for every aspect of your business, create guidelines for your core team, and serve as checks and balances.
The beauty of engaging a Fractional COO is that after the heavy lifting: observing, engaging with primary targets, providing a thorough assessment of operational gaps, creating SOPs, and implementing change management as needed, the needs shift from emergent to maintenance. What do I mean by that? Once the heavy lifting is complete, your operations will have transformed and you will have the opportunity to engage with your operations hero for maintenance and you decide what works best for your business, whether that is on a monthly or quarterly basis.
For businesses looking to grow, scale, and sustain, Fractional COOs could elevate your operations and aid your ascension. Interested in learning how a fractional C-Suite team could fulfill your needs and change your trajectory? Schedule a consultation today!
