Interim and Fractional Leadership engagement environment

Service

Interim and Fractional Leadership

Experienced executive leadership placed on the initiative that cannot wait for a permanent hire.

The problem this answers

A critical role is open, or a program needs someone who has run one before, and a permanent hire is months away.

Capabilities applied

  • Interim executive leadership
  • Fractional leadership for defined programs
  • Transformational leadership
  • Program manager and PMO lead roles
  • Strategic advisory to CEOs, boards and investment teams
  • Executive coaching and mentoring
  • Workshop facilitation and leadership alignment
  • Operating model and roadmap development

How the engagement runs

Four steps, each with an owner and an output

  • Days

    Scope

    The accountability, the decision rights, the reporting line and the exit condition agreed before anyone starts.

  • By scope

    Step in

    The role is held, not advised on. Decisions are made, governance is run and the organization keeps moving.

  • Concurrent

    Build

    Capability is transferred deliberately, so the permanent holder inherits a functioning operation rather than a handover pack.

  • Planned

    Hand over

    A defined transition against the exit condition set at the start, with follow-up review scheduled.
