Embedded Fractional
One to two days a week embedded in your organisation — owning strategy, managing projects and acting as a genuine part of your leadership team.
Embedded Fractional is the most popular model — and the one that creates the most impact. We become a genuine part of your leadership team for one to two days a week: not just advising, but owning workstreams, managing projects and suppliers, and driving things to completion. You get the seniority and accountability of a director, integrated into how your organisation actually runs.

- Embedded leadershipRegular presence in your organisation, in meetings and alongside your team, one to two days a week.
