From an empty seat to a function that runs without you.
The same five steps whether it is one executive, one department or the whole bench.
- 01Seat mapWe map every function the business needs, who holds it today, and which ones are really the owner's calendar. Thirty minutes, honest, written down.
- 02Fit and termsFractional seat, outsourced department, interim cover or Growth Partner. Days per month, who leads, what the first quarter must produce, and the price, in writing.
- 03First 30 daysThe executive or the department lead reads the business, meets the people, takes over the function's calendar and ships the first visible change.
- 04Weekly cadenceA standing weekly with the owner, a monthly scorecard, a quarterly plan. The function runs on a rhythm the owner can see without being in it.
- 05Hand-off or stayEvery seat comes with the playbooks and the training to hand it to your own hire when the time is right. Or the seat stays fractional for as long as it earns its keep.
How engagements are priced
Fractional executives are a monthly retainer for a set number of days per month. Outsourced departments are a monthly fee for a senior lead plus the specialists the function needs. Interim cover is priced per month for a defined period. The Growth Partner program is revenue share, equity or a lean retainer plus performance bonus, for companies with proven demand. Nothing is billed by the hour. See consultations and fees.
Who does what
We supply the people, the leadership of the function and the systems it runs on. Your employment lawyer handles employment agreements and employment law. Your CPA handles tax. Where a placement requires a licensed recruiter, we work with one. We support hiring; we are not a recruitment agency.
Remote, hybrid or on site
Executives meet on site across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley and by video elsewhere. Departments run remotely by default with on-site days where the work needs them. Specialists are distributed across Canada.
