Fractional Leadership Services
As a senior-level fractional leader, I provide targeted expertise exactly where your school needs it most. My services are designed for maximum impact with minimal overhead.
1. Strategic Planning & Vision
Facilitating Vision to Action: Lead and facilitate stakeholder committees (Board, Admin, Faculty) through structured strategic planning sessions.
Roadmap Development: Translate high-level strategic goals into measurable, phased implementation roadmaps and operational budgets.
Data-Driven Review: Conduct objective program and department reviews to align operations with the school’s mission and identify areas for resource optimization.
2. Project & Initiative Rescue
Reenergizing Stalled Initiatives: Step in as the interim project head to diagnose blockages, realign teams, and restore momentum on critical but faltering projects (e.g., technology adoption, curriculum review, accreditation preparation).
Operational Team Facilitation: Provide impartial team leadership and coaching to resolve internal conflicts and improve cross-departmental communication and accountability.
Process Optimization: Establish systems to improve workflow efficiency and ensure the continuity of project momentum after the engagement.
3. Policy & Governance
Creating Foundational Policy: Develop, review, and refine essential school and department policies (e.g., faculty handbook policies, student life, technology use) to ensure legal compliance and mission alignment.
Establishing Best Practices: Implement streamlined workflows and governance models that improve efficiency, reduce administrative burden, and ensure long-term sustainability.
Documentation & Training: Produce comprehensive documentation and train current staff on new processes, guaranteeing the knowledge and systems remain in-house after the engagement is complete.
4. Fractional Administrator/Department Head
Managing Transition: Serve as a temporary Administrator or Department Head during a hiring transition, leave of absence, or restructuring.
Ensuring Continuity: Maintain stability, manage daily operations, and ensure critical projects and reporting deadlines are met during periods of vacancy.
Mentoring & Onboarding Support: Mentor existing staff and provide specialized support for the eventual onboarding of a permanent hire, setting them up for success.
