Now, you can be a CFO or CMO of a company too. How? The answer is “Fractional CXO”. This innovative approach involves seasoned professionals, proficient in areas like finance, marketing, and strategy, dedicating part-time commitments to multiple firms simultaneously. This trend has gained traction over the past few years, driven by the flexibility it offers to senior talent. By engaging in fractional roles, these CXOs benefit from continuous learning and diverse specialization, while companies gain access to high-quality expertise at reasonable cost.

Is it time to hire a COO? Are you a start-up, scale-up or small business? Is your leadership team juggling too many priorities? Are they dealing with things outside their specialist areas? Is the CEO spending too much time working in the business rather than on it? If any of these apply to your business, it might be time to hire a COO. - What is a COO? This might seem like an odd question, but the role can vary depending on the industry and the business itself. Essentially, the role of a COO is to focus on the day-to-day operations of the business and operational improvements, while the CEO's focus is usually external. A COO can be described as a "specialist generalist." Unlike other members of the C-suite who have specific focus areas; technology, marketing, HR, legal, etc. They are also responsible for putting some governance in place and establishing suitable metrics for teams. - Can we afford a COO? Adding another person to the C-suite doesn’t have to be expensive. The COO doesn’t have to be full-time. If the issues prompting the need for a COO are short-term or have come up recently, it may be best to bring in a COO on a flexible basis, such as a fractional or interim, or maybe on a consultancy basis. With any of those options, you can get the benefit of an experienced executive without the 6-figure cost. What parts of your business would be more efficient and scalable with a little bit of operational improvement? What else could the C-suite be doing? #COO #CEO #investor #operationalexcellence I help companies grow and manage change efficiently by improving their business operations. Full-time, part-time, fractional or consultant. With 20+ years of experience in technology and operations, I’ve seen many costly mistakes. Can your business afford them?

Do you know about T-Shaped & V-Shaped Employees? Super interesting when you dig into the detail!!👇 As a business we spend an incredible amount of time reviewing & assessing "T-Shaped Skills" but I have never come across "V-Shaped Skills" T-Shaped Profile 🔍 👉 Vertical bar of the 'T' symbolizes deep expertise in a specific domain. (Finance, Marketing, Sales, Ops, Product etc) 👉 Horizontal bar denotes a broad understanding across various disciplines. Meaning T-shaped individuals excel in their core area while also possessing versatile knowledge across different functions, enabling them to collaborate effectively and drive innovation in diverse teams. V-Shaped Profile 🔍 👉 V-shaped skills emphasize deep specialization without necessarily requiring a broad understanding of other domains. V-shaped individuals are highly skilled within their niche but may not possess the same level of adaptability or cross-functional collaboration as T-shaped professionals. Therefore, CFOs within dynamic, fast paced businesses will typically benefit more from T-shaped skills due to the multifaceted nature of CFO responsibilities!!🤹♂️ Startup CFOs require deep expertise (Vertical) in all areas of financial management but also need a broad understanding (Horizontal) of various functions such as operations, strategy, legal, marketing and sales. This breadth enables great CFOs to collaborate effectively with other executives and provide strategic financial guidance that aligns with the overall goals of the startup. Which is why securing the right CFO at the Series B + stage is so important!!🚀 *** 🔔 If you enjoy my content, follow me Andrew Waters for more in the future ♻️ Repost to share with your network #startups #founders #cfos #entrepreneurship #hiring

Questions I get asked a lot as a Fractional COO : - ❓"Isn't a Fractional Executive just the same as an Interim?" ❓"What's the difference between you and a Consultant?" The fact is that there are major distinctions between all three, but the Fractional role is perhaps less well-known. Although the Fractional model has been around for a while in Finance and Technology functions, it's only in more recent years that there's been a growing market for Fractional Executives across all Board functions (I personally know Fractional CMOs, CPOs and COOs). In my mind, Fractional and Interim Executives and Consultants would fill quite different needs: - ➡️ Fractional Executives tend to work part-time over the longer term. By hiring a Fractional, you get to tap into the experience of a seasoned Executive without the cost of hiring a full-time equivalent. Fractional Executives are usually a good combination of consulting and interim as they can provide good advice and get their sleeves rolled up when necessary. ➡️ Interim Executives are usually full-time for a fixed period and are often brought in when there is a major transformation programme to lead. They will often be running the business/a department day-to-day and will be responsible for delivering company objectives. ➡️ Consultants don't generally get involved in implementing their strategies but they will bring expertise in specific areas, know what works and will bring unbiased perspectives as they are not tasked with day-to-day operations. Are my definitions of the three different roles missing anything? I'm always happy to talk about my experience as a Fractional COO.
