FRACTIONAL COO SERVICES FOR BETTER FOCUS EXECUTION OUTCOMES
Our Fractional COO services are focused on a single purpose: helping small businesses. We work with you to plan your future, execute your strategy, and support your team.
Solving Your Unique Business Challenges
The problems you face won’t go away on their own.
However, not every business requires or can afford a seasoned full-time operations executive.
Fractional COO services solve that dilemma.
Laser-Focused
Having someone laser-focused on your biggest challenges can help you achieve your goals more quickly. You see results sooner. You can focus on growing the business instead of fighting fires.
Expertise When You Need It
A fractional COO model gives companies access to experienced operations executives on a virtual or part-time basis. Our model gives you flexibility. You can control your costs and manage the speed of change.
Solving Problems and Driving Alignment
We break down your challenges into three levels of the operations hierarchy: Process, Structure, and Strategy.
We work with business owners to ensure all aspects of their operations are sound and aligned with their strategic and short-term goals.
From younger companies that need to add structure and process to support their growing organization to more established firms that need to solve a singular challenge, OPG can help.
If you are struggling with identifying the root of your challenges, we can perform an operations audit to help you hone in on the areas that need improvement.

INTRO
We know our business is built on mutual trust, so we begin our relationship by learning about our clients’ businesses and challenges. And we let our clients get to know us too – how we operate, our values, and our expertise.
2
NEEDS
Next, we uncover the future-state goals and current issues the client is facing. This helps us focus our efforts. If needed, we can perform an operations audit to identify the areas we can leverage to have the biggest impact.
3
SCOPE
Based on our discussions we work closely with the client to scope our work efforts. By understanding our client’s priorities and time frames, we can craft a solution that impacts the business just where it is needed.

ACT
After the scope is agreed to, it’s time to begin work. Opal Partners isn’t like some consulting companies that give you a report – we roll up our sleeves and work alongside our clients. We are player/coaches.

ADVISE
As the engagement progresses, we monitor our progress and the results. If we need to pivot to address a new challenge, we do so. Continuous feedback and coaching helps our clients stay focused on their goals.
The Opal Assessment is a guided self-assessment of your operations. In it, we apply the Operations Hierarchy to the seven essential functions common to every business to help you identify the areas that need improvement.
Once identified, we create a plan to drive execution aligned with your strategy.
