FRACTIONAL CONSULTING

Continuity of expertise.
Capacity that fits.

An agreed share of experienced consulting support, focused on defined outcomes. Useful when the work needs ongoing attention but does not call for a full-time appointment.

WHEN IT MAKES SENSE

Important work
needs a clear owner.

01You have a change backlog, but priorities and requirements keep shifting.

02Your data problems recur because ownership and decisions are unclear.

03You are preparing for a system change and need experienced business input.

04Your team needs continuity, challenge and practical support between milestones.

POSSIBLE ENGAGEMENTS

Define the outcome.
Then shape the support.

These are starting points for a conversation. Scope and deliverables are agreed to suit the organisation.

DISCOVERY & DIRECTION

Make the next phase actionable.

Clarify the problem, map stakeholders, review current processes and develop a prioritised set of requirements and decisions.

Possible outputs: discovery summary, scope, prioritised backlog.

DATA & OWNERSHIP

Make governance workable.

Identify critical data, agree owners, document definitions and establish a practical process for resolving quality issues.

Possible outputs: ownership map, data definitions, issue register.

CHANGE & READINESS

Keep delivery connected to the business.

Review dependencies, prepare acceptance criteria and support communication, adoption and handover.

Possible outputs: readiness review, action plan, handover pack.

HOW WE WOULD WORK

Clear boundaries.
Regular progress.

  1. 01

    Agree the mandate

    Define outcomes, decision authority, scope and what sits outside the engagement.

  2. 02

    Set the cadence

    Agree capacity, working sessions, communication and how priorities will be reviewed.

  3. 03

    Review the evidence

    Assess progress against agreed deliverables and adjust the engagement deliberately.

COMMON QUESTIONS

A few things to clarify.

How many days can I book?

Capacity is agreed around the work and current availability. Contact me with the likely duration, desired cadence and outcomes so we can assess the fit.

Is this the same as a contract assignment?

A contract assignment typically adds focused delivery capacity within a project. Fractional consulting provides an agreed share of ongoing expertise around a defined remit. The right structure depends on the work.

Does this include regulated legal or financial advice?

No. The service focuses on business analysis, data and change delivery. Legal, tax, financial and other regulated decisions remain with appropriately authorised advisers and your accountable business owners.

Can the scope change?

Yes, through an agreed review of priorities, capacity and deliverables. New work should be made explicit so expectations remain clear.
