Fractional consulting offers a unique blend of engagement and expertise compared to traditional consultancy, interim roles, or advisory positions. It emphasizes part-time leadership roles within a team, setting it apart from other forms of part-time work or consultancy by integrating into the team at a leadership level. This approach has been growing in popularity, particularly in the context of C-suite positions, offering a strategic advantage for businesses in need of leadership without the commitment of a full-time hire.
