Fractional COO & Operations Consulting

Before You Hire a COO, Ask Yourself One Question:
Are you solving dysfunction — or institutionalizing it?

Growth exposes tolerated patterns.
We correct them before a premature executive hire becomes a costly mistake.

Authority & Cultural Insight

What Leaders Tolerate Becomes Culture
  • Blurred decision rights
  • Weak accountability
  • Metrics ignored or unenforced
  • Meetings that produce motion, not progress

A new executive placed on top of tolerated dysfunction inherits it.
We help leaders confront it first.

Proprietary System

The COO Sequencing Assessment™

A structured, 45-minute diagnostic that evaluates:
 
   1. Structural Clarity – Who owns what and how decisions flow
   2. Cultural Discipline – What behaviors are tolerated and what will be enforced
   3. Executive Sequencing – Is your organization ready for a COO, or do foundational corrections come first?

Outcome: One of three clear recommendations:
 
  • Ready for a COO hire
  • Requires 90-day operational correction first
  • No COO required

90-Day Operational Correction Engagement

If correction is required, we implement a focused 90-day engagement to:
 
  • Eliminate tolerated underperformance
  • Restore execution cadence and metric discipline
  • Realign leadership and decision rights
  • Protect margins before scale magnifies inefficiency
  • Prepare the organization for strategic executive decisions

Outcome: Organizational clarity, restored discipline, and confidence in whether a COO or internal promotion is the right next step.
