Fractional Consulting
Small to mid-sized businesses often have limited resources, including time, money, personnel, and most likely — expertise. As a result, they may not have the ability or capacity to manage complex projects or strategic initiatives on their own. This is where our fractional trusted advisors, strategists, project managers, and consultants can be valuable assets.
Many of us have experienced consulting entities deploying their least experienced resources for the job, with only the oversight of a career professional.
Flip the model. Get more fire power directly to the heart of the matter — while utilizing only as much as you need. Get more done, with fewer resources, in a fraction of the time — at a fraction of the cost.
Trusted Advisors: Small to mid-sized businesses often require professional services but may not have the need or budget to hire a firm full-time. Contract trusted advisors can provide advice and guidance on an as-needed basis, without the overhead costs of hiring a full-time employee or firms with inflated fees. They can help businesses navigate obstacles such as strategic planning, budgeting, change management, contracts, compliance, intellectual property, and other legal issues.
Project Managers: Small to mid-sized businesses may have limited resources and experience managing complex projects. On demand or fractional project managers can provide expertise in project planning, scheduling, budgeting, strategy, and risk management. Our model can help ensure that projects are completed on time, within budget, and meet the required quality standards even when a full-time PM is not warranted. This can be particularly valuable when an organization is impacted by pre or post acquisition transformation.
Consultants: Small to mid-sized businesses still require specialized expertise in areas such as organizational change, marketing, finance, and especially technology. Fractional consultants can provide part-time or project-based services, providing the expertise needed without the long-term cost impact.
In summary, even small to mid-sized businesses require project rigor and discipline. Organizational change is disorienting and demanding. However in order to grow, change is required. They still need strategy and should benefit from trusted relationships, project managers, and service delivery focused advisory services.
Utilize the experience and performance of career professionals for a fraction of the impact to your budget. Gain specialized expertise and assistance on an as-needed basis, helping your business save time and money while ensuring that key company initiatives are managed effectively.
