Engagement Models
Flexible ways to bring experienced leadership into your world.
Organizations, leadership teams, and individual executives engage Stage 5 through focused business projects, fractional and interim leadership roles, and executive coaching — depending on the goals, urgency, and level of support required.
When clients engage Stage 5
Clients typically reach out when they:
• Need to solve a critical business problem
• Need additional leadership capacity
• Are navigating growth, transition, or uncertainty
• Have a leadership gap that can’t wait to be filled
• Want to strengthen leadership capability or performance
We help determine the right engagement model based on your situation.
Project Based Engagements
Solve a defined problem or deliver a specific outcome
Project engagements are designed to tackle a specific business challenge with clear scope, milestones, and deliverables.
These engagements are outcome-focused and built to create momentum quickly.
Common project engagements include:
- Executive Coaching Engagements
- On-Demand Business Consultation & Advisory (Ad-hoc)
- Project Sprints (1-3 Weeks)
- Focused Short Term Projects (30-90 Days)
- Deep Business Engagement (3 months to 1 year)

Interim Executive Engagements
Full-time leadership during transitions or critical moments
Interim leadership provides experienced executives who step in quickly to lead during periods of change or uncertainty. This model is designed to stabilize the business, maintain momentum, and support successful transitions.
Common interim scenarios include:
- Executive departures or leadership transitions
- M&A integration or restructuring
- Turnaround or performance recovery
- Rapid growth or organizational change
- Critical projects or launches
Interim leaders operate as full-time members of the leadership team for the duration of the engagement.

Fractional Executive Engagements
Ongoing executive leadership without a full-time hire
Fractional leadership provides experienced executive capacity on a part-time, ongoing basis.
This model is ideal for organizations that need senior leadership but are not ready to hire a full-time executive or want to scale leadership intentionally.
Common fractional roles include:
- Fractional COO
- Fractional CSO / Head of Growth
- Fractional President or Chief of Staff
- Functional leadership support across operations, strategy, growth, or talent
Fractional leaders work as a part-time member of the leadership team, providing regular cadence, accountability, and execution support.

Not sure which approach fits?
Let's start with the problem
Most clients don’t start with the engagement model — they start with the problem. We help determine the right level of support based on your goals, urgency, and leadership needs.
Many clients begin with a coaching or project engagement and continue with fractional leadership, or start with interim leadership and transition to fractional support as the organization stabilizes.
We meet clients where they are and adapt as needs evolve.
