THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FRACTIONAL AND INTERIM?
The critical component defining a fractional is that it's a transformative role. It's a tool for a company / founder to enact rapid change in a period of a company's lifecycle where "what got us here won't get us there."
These types of transformations generally require a level of leadership that's unnecessarily expensive for the company to hire full-time—and the transformation processes usually don't require 24/7 top shelf expertise to begin with.
It requires something that's more hands-on than a board member, but less hands-on than a full-time executive.
This is where the fractional format kicks in: you can supplement your existing workforce with seen-it-done-it-love-it leadership that can materially cut out the trial-and-error parts of the journey. They've seen the movie before.
But instead of doing it in a consultant way (spend a few weeks with you, drop a 100 page PDF and leave), you still get someone who is with you in the trenches to make sure the transformation sticks.
It's an incredibly powerful proposition—in the right place, at the right time.
