Fractional Operational Support
An operations leader in your corner, without the full-time hire
There's a moment every growing organization hits. The executive director is approving purchase orders at 10 p.m. The finance lead is also the HR lead. Everyone is good at their job, and nobody has time to build the system that would make the job easier.
That's the seat a fractional COO fills. Our founder has managed budgets over $18 million and a real estate portfolio across 13 sites. She learned the hard way that operations is what lets everyone else do their best work.
Who it's for
Executive directors and CEOs who are running operations on top of everything else
Organizations between a few million and $50 million in budget that aren't ready for a full-time COO
Teams going through growth, a merger, a leadership change, or a funding shift
What we do together
Take ownership of operations a set number of days each month, with a standing rhythm you can count on
Build the budget process, reporting, and decision rules your team keeps asking for
Lead vendor, technology, facilities, and HR operations projects from start to finish
Coach your next operations leader so the role is ready to hand off when you are
What changes: Your executive director gets their evenings back. Your board sees numbers it trusts. Your staff knows who decides what.
A structure that fits the work you do today
Most org charts are history lessons. They show who was hired when, which programs got funded first, and which roles grew around the person who held them. That's normal. But at some point the structure stops serving the strategy.
We help you redesign roles, reporting lines, and decision rights around where you're headed. Then we stay through the part most consultants skip: leading people through the change.
Who it's for
Organizations that have outgrown their structure after growth or new funding
Leadership teams where accountability lives in relationships instead of systems
Organizations planning a merger, restructure, or new strategic plan
What we do together
Assess how work actually flows today, including where it gets stuck
Design roles, reporting lines, and clear rules for who decides what
Turn your strategic plan into a 12-month work plan with owners and milestones
Plan and lead the change, including how and when you tell staff, board, and partners
What changes: People know their role and the role next to them. Decisions move faster. Your plan stops sitting on the shelf.
AI Strategy and Governance
Organizational Design & Change
Use AI on purpose, with your values intact
Your staff is probably already using AI to draft grant reports, summarize meetings, or screen applications. Some of that is a gift. Some of it is quietly making decisions nobody signed off on, about data nobody meant to share.
We help mission-driven organizations adopt AI with a plan. That means a strategy tied to your mission, clear rules for how it's used, and a check on who it might leave out.
Who it's for
Nonprofits, education organizations, and mission-driven teams starting or scaling AI use
Leaders who want the efficiency without the risk to trust, privacy, or fairness
Boards asking "what's our AI policy?" and not getting a clear answer
What we do together
Map how AI is already being used across your organization
Build an AI strategy and use policy your staff can actually follow
Review uses that affect people, like hiring, services, or eligibility, for fairness and bias
Train staff and set up a simple process for approving new tools
What changes: Your team uses AI with confidence. Your board has a policy it understands. The people you serve stay at the center.
