First, let’s set the stage: fractional services are not the equivalent of full-time responsibilities squeezed into part-time hours or effort.
What I can do in 10 minutes takes other people 10 weeks.
What I know in 10 seconds can take organizations 10 months to unravel left to their own devices.
To that end, anyone operating at this level should not be billing you by the hour. (Expertise like this is best priced based on value — or at least duration.)
The season of business you’re transitioning through is what determines the scope of fractional support. Sometimes it’s clarity from lived experience at the exact moment you need it. (No one needs to move a mountain while wearing flip-flops unless absolutely necessary.) Other times, there are more tactical components at play.
One important note: if we work together in this capacity, fractional services come with a shared emotional commitment.
Why?
Because I dream about client solutions and solve problems in the shower.
When I take on fractional work, I’m in it with you — sleeves rolled up.
