about
With broad expertise as a project manager and collaborative consultant, I serve businesses on a fractional basis, executing initiatives without all the overhead of recruiting, onboarding, and training that comes with hiring a full-time employee. Because of my versatility, I can handle a wide variety of projects across your business, increasing the value, efficiency, and productivity of your workforce.
Why it works
Tell me if this sounds familiar? You want to launch a new project or initiative and you go round and round about how the additional workload will be managed inside your organization without really knowing what it will take to execute. So, it ends up on your list of key objectives year after year after year with little or no progress ever getting made. I have seen this play out in so many organizations over the last 20 years.
So, what’s the problem?
- THE HIRING PROCESS IS TOO SLOW AND TOO EXPENSIVE.
- YOUR TEAM LACKS THE SPECIALIZED SKILLS REQUIRED TO GET THE JOB DONE.
When you fully commit to a project, there is a misconception that the best path forward is adding to an existing employee’s workload or adding FTE, either by promoting from within or hiring from the outside. Best case scenario when you hire is you spend the next 3-6 months:
- Writing and rewriting job descriptions.
- Getting multiple approvals from management and HR.
- Spending thousands of dollars in recruiting costs.
- Taking as much as 20% productivity away from the people involved in the hiring process with interviews and debriefs.
And all this before you’ve even signed their first paycheck. Studies show that it takes on average 8 months before a new employee is 100% up to speed, so half or more of their first-year salary is an additional sunken cost. On top of that, let’s hope you can retain this employee for at least 2 years in order to break even on all your efforts, which, in today’s market, is 50/50 at best. If you’ve promoted from within to fill the role, now you have to backfill that position, further reducing productivity while they do double duty for the next 3-6 months while you repeat the hiring process.
AND YOU’RE STILL NO CLOSER TO ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS!
