Fractional Operations
Senior operations leadership on a retainer: the systems, the follow-through, and the numbers, a few days a month, every month.
Fractional operations management gives your company a senior operations leader for a set number of days per month, typically two to five, instead of a full-time hire. The fractional leader installs the operating rhythm, documents your processes as SOPs, builds the KPI dashboard, and runs the follow-through, while you keep ownership of every decision.
A monthly cadence your company runs on: priorities set, owners assigned, follow-through checked. The discipline of an operations executive without the payroll of one.
Quoting workflows, scheduling boards, job costing, onboarding checklists, built with your team, documented as SOPs, improved as they're used. Lean Six Sigma applied, not presented.
Most owners fly blind between year-ends. We install a one-page monthly dashboard, the handful of numbers that actually predict your cash and capacity, and review it with you.
Every SOP written and every reduction in owner-dependence is readiness the business builds over time. Owners who later decide to sell or hand over start years ahead, and already know the team who did the work. It is a capability inside the retainer, not a separate service.
“Operations” is a big word that hides the actual work. Here is what it means when we run it for you, ten lanes, one retainer. Most owners need three or four to start.
You don’t buy all of this at once. We start where it hurts most, install the operating rhythm, and add lanes as the business is ready, all inside one monthly retainer. Delivered in English or French.
A coach advises you. We operate with you: the SOPs get written, the dashboard gets built, the meeting gets run. Advice is included; implementation is the product.
Engagements are scoped in days per month, not hours, typically two to five, matched to what the operating rhythm needs. You'll always know the cadence in advance.
Owner-led companies that are small and mid-sized, roughly 5 to 50 people, big enough that the owner's head can't hold it all, not yet big enough to justify a full-time senior operations hire.
Engagements are month-to-month after an initial ninety days, long enough to install the rhythm, short enough that we re-earn the retainer constantly.
