Get strategic operational leadership without the full-time salary
You're the bottleneck. Every decision runs through you. Your team doesn't know who decides what. Projects stall waiting for your approval. You're working 60+ hours a week and still can't keep up.
You know you need operational leadership, but hiring a full-time COO costs $150,000+ per year plus benefits. That's not in the budget—and you're not even sure what a COO would do all day.
Groundwork Partners provides fractional COO support—experienced operational leadership on a part-time basis. You get strategic guidance, process improvement, and hands-on execution without the full-time cost.
Set clear goals, build quarterly plans, and execute with accountability. We help you move from reactive to proactive.
Capture what works, fix what doesn't, and create repeatable systems that reduce errors and speed up work.
Clarify roles, define decision rights, and build accountability frameworks so work doesn't depend entirely on you.
Develop your management team so they can lead effectively without constant oversight.
Create clear rules for who decides what, so decisions happen faster and your team gains confidence.
Handle the bottlenecks, workflow issues, and coordination problems that slow growth.
Situation: You're hiring fast but don't have clear roles or processes to onboard people effectively.
We handle: Document your workflows, create role clarity, and build onboarding systems so new hires contribute faster.
Situation: Your leadership team doesn't know who makes which decisions, so everything escalates to you.
We handle: Map decision rights, delegate authority within clear boundaries, and coach your team on execution.
Situation: You want to scale but don't know what systems need to be in place first.
We handle: Assess readiness, prioritize the right infrastructure, and build the operational foundation for growth.
Consultants give advice and leave. A fractional COO works with you regularly—weekly or biweekly—executing projects, holding your team accountable, and adjusting as your business changes.
You get hands-on operational leadership, not just a report with recommendations you don't have time to implement.
Clear systems that work. A leadership team that can execute without you. Documented processes that make work predictable. Decision frameworks that speed up execution. And finally—time to focus on strategy and growth instead of daily firefighting.
Let's talk about where you're stuck and what you need to grow.
