Signs You Need an Operations Consultant
THE ULTIMATE INTEGRATOR
You are an entrepreneur or small business owner
This means your company needs to grow and scale efficiently. You need help with developing your business plan, writing a vivid vision for your company, hiring, or optimizing your team for remote work
You are spending too much time working in your business and not on growing
There are not enough hours in the day and you are feeling overwhelmed. You are struggling to set up operations and need the help of someone with startup experience. You know your time would be better spent developing new ideas, raising capital or networking
You want your business to run without you
An Operations Consultant works as an integrator, coach, mentor and facilitator. You can count on an operations consultant to make sure that your day to day operations run smoothly. You want clear lines of communication between you and your team as well as established processes and KPI's to help you measure your company's success and keep growing
Benefits of an Operations Consultant
MORE THAN JUST A MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT
Budget friendly
You might hire a consultant on a month-to-month basis, for a set fee. You can bring them in for just a few hours per week or more, or even for a specific project.
​
CEO’s and their executive teams reap the benefits
Bringing on an operations consultant helps you in the day-to-day operations of running your company, allowing you to step back and focus on long-term strategies and your company’s growth and direction. Companies that are in the startup phase or are looking to scale fast may will find a Fractional COO invaluable.
Operations Consultants are highly flexible
They can wear any number of hats within your company and execute many roles, depending on your company's individual needs. Operations consultants can help create a roadmap for all operations that make sense for your business; ranging from streamlining your onboarding process, reviewing your departmental budgets or training your managers.
Why More Businesses Are Choosing to Hire an Operations Consultant
Strategic expertise
​
An operations consultant with startup experience will understand the challenges that can impact a growing business and have the tactical skills required to navigate these challenges
​
Flexibility
​
Traditionally, hiring a Director or VP of Operations meant recruiting a full-time team member.
Today, entrepreneurs and startups may not have enough work to validate a full-time position, or they may want to maintain their ability to reduce services if they experience a slow period, which leads to:
​
Affordability
​
You may already know that you could hire a Chief Operating Officer, Director of Operations or VP of Operations, but a full-time hire is not in your current budget. Most entrepreneurs are acutely aware of their need to eliminate interruptions, inconsistencies and streamline operations— and they know they can’t do it alone.
​
Fortunately, hiring an Operations Consultant can completely resolve this concern. Consultants can work as little or as much as the business requires, and many offer their services at a significantly lower rate than you’d spend on hiring a full-time executive.
