Frequently asked questions
How is this different from fractional leadership?
Ongoing advisory supports and challenges existing leaders. Fractional leadership carries defined authority and accountability inside the business.
Can the focus change over time?
Yes. The relationship can move between performance, supply, partnerships, projects, board support and other commercial priorities as the business changes.
Can an ongoing partnership follow a project?
Yes. This provides continuity after the initial strategy or blueprint while internal teams implement the decisions.
