Outsourced
governance support
Outsourced board and operational supports to help get you through, support transitions or facilitate change. For short or longer periods.
What You See
Your team is stretched
In times of change, sometimes it doesn’t make sense to make a long-term commitment. Our interim governance and operational leadership can help get you through a transition period, an unexpected gap, or get something major done when the team is stretched.
What We Do
Hands-on support – by senior level doers
We aren’t a placement agency, but we have strong people in our network that can roll up their sleeves to help.
Working on a fractional or outsourced basis means we operate as an extension of your leadership team, on your behalf, to make changes occur as you need them to.
Everything from stepping in to run the board and committees as your Interim Corporate Secretary, to bringing rigour and discipline to a can’t-fail project as your Project Manager, or transforming a department as your Acting SLT member.

Interim Leadership to Operationalize Change
A governance review identified a gap that new policies and procedures could not fill. It needed a strong governance leader who had done the job before.
