Why Savvy Companies are Utilising a Chief of Staff on a Fractional Basis
In 2021 after the 'dark days' of Covid I sought something new, something that I could utilise my skill set across HR, operations, strategy, and sales, but a GM role no longer piqued my interest. It was at this point that I discovered that a Chief of Staff was not just found in governmental departments but was being used in forward-thinking businesses in the private sector. Moreover, while I was fortunate to work for an energy trading business that utilised me as a Chief of Staff on a full-time basis, the emergence of a Chief of Staff on a fractional basis has been seen as a savvy way to accelerate and execute business plans, tackle organisation issues, and grow businesses faster than ever before.?
At its core, the fractional Chief of Staff model offers a unique blend of expertise, experience, and flexibility that can be a game-changer for growing businesses. This role, often likened to a high-level COO, brings to the table a comprehensive understanding of operational intricacies and strategic decision-making. By engaging such a professional on a fractional basis, companies can infuse their leadership teams with a seasoned strategist who can drive process optimisation, streamline workflows, and cultivate a culture of innovation. The fractional nature of this arrangement ensures that even resource-constrained organisations can benefit from the insights and strategies that an accomplished Chief of Staff can provide. ?
Moreover, the fractional Chief of Staff serves as a strategic conduit between the executive suite and the broader workforce. This intermediary function can bridge communication gaps, enhance alignment, and promote a cohesive organisational vision. By operating at the intersection of strategy and execution, the fractional Chief of Staff can distill complex goals into actionable plans, empowering teams to work synergistically toward overarching objectives. This catalytic role not only accelerates decision-making but also nurtures a sense of shared purpose, invigorating the company's growth trajectory. ?

1 年Think you hit the nail on the head Gerard, people are the core of any business regardless of size and the ability for COS in maximizing their potential maximizes the organisation's potential. Having the ability to tap into high level COS skillset without the C Level pay factor is a major advantage for SME's.
