Retainer Services

  • Fractional Chief Strategy Officer (CSO)

    Application-Based Service | Limited Availability

    Organizations reach a point where growth, complexity, or transition outpaces their internal strategy capacity. The Fractional Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) retainer is designed for leaders who need senior-level strategic leadership, clarity, and alignment—without hiring a full-time executive.

    This engagement provides embedded, ongoing strategy support to help organizations move from reactive decision-making to intentional, forward-driven execution.

     

    This retainer is best suited for organizations that:

    • Are growing, restructuring, or preparing for their next phase

    • Need executive-level strategy, not project management or coaching

    • Are navigating funding, expansion, governance, or operational complexity

    • Want a strategic partner who can see across programs, people, and priorities

     

    What a Fractional CSO engagement may include:

    • Strategic direction and organizational alignment

    • Executive-level decision support

    • Long- and short-term roadmap development

    • Leadership accountability and prioritization

    • Growth, sustainability, and positioning strategy

    • Preparation for boards, funders, or key stakeholders

     

    Engagement Structure

    Fractional CSO engagements are ongoing monthly retainers, limited in number, and customized based on organizational needs and capacity. This service is application-based to ensure strategic alignment and mutual fit.

     

    Availability is intentionally limited.

     

    Not all organizations will be accepted.

  • Fractional Operations & Strategy Lead

    Application-Based Service | Limited Availability

    As organizations grow, operational complexity often outpaces structure. The Fractional Operations & Strategy Lead (COO) retainer is designed for leaders who need strategic operational clarity, alignment, and systems, but do not require or want a full-time operations executive.

     

    This engagement focuses on strategic operations, not day-to-day management, helping organizations build structure that supports growth, accountability, and sustainability.

     

    This retainer is best suited for organizations that:

    • Are experiencing operational strain due to growth or change

    • Have teams or programs that feel misaligned or inefficient

    • Need systems, structure, and prioritization at the leadership level

    • Want operational clarity without outsourcing execution

     

    What a Fractional COO engagement may include:

    • Strategic operational assessment and alignment

    • Organizational structure and workflow design

    • Leadership-level prioritization and capacity planning

    • Process optimization to support growth and sustainability

    • Alignment between strategy, operations, and outcomes

    • Support during periods of transition or restructuring

  • Executive Strategy Advisor (Fractional)

    Application-Based Service | Limited Availability

    Leadership can be isolating, especially during periods of growth, transition, or increased responsibility. The Executive Strategy Advisor retainer provides high-level strategic thought partnership for founders, executives, and senior leaders who need clarity, perspective, and decision support without operational involvement.

    This engagement is advisory in nature and designed to strengthen leadership decision-making, alignment, and long-term thinking.

     

    This retainer is best suited for leaders who:

    • Are navigating complex or high-stakes decisions

    • Lead organizations in transition or growth

    • Want strategic guidance without day-to-day execution support

    • Need a trusted, independent thought partner

     

    What an Executive Strategy Advisor engagement may include:

    • Executive-level strategic advisory and reflection

    • Decision calibration and scenario planning

    • Leadership alignment and prioritization support

    • Strategic preparation for boards, stakeholders, or funders

    • Guidance through organizational or personal leadership transitions

     

    Engagement Structure

    Executive Strategy Advisor engagements are ongoing monthly retainers and are application-based to ensure fit and alignment. Availability is limited to preserve depth and quality of engagement.
