As a CEO, founder, or business owner you wear the title of the "Visionary", as described in the book Traction by Gino Wickman. As the Visionary of your company, you have an unparalleled ability to foster relationships, establish your organization's culture, and plan for the future.  However, with the ever-increasing complexity of day-to-day business operations and your need to stay focused on long-term goals, it becomes difficult to manage and execute it all. Enter the Fractional Business Integrator: an experienced business leader who can provide strategic and operational direction to your organization.

Integrating a Business Operating System

In Traction, Wickman lays out The Entrepreneurial Operating System, EOS®, an operating system that provides entrepreneurs with a powerful framework to keep operations running smoothly. This operating system, EOS®, calls for the crucial role of an Integrator. In regards to the relationship between the Visionary and Integrator, Wickman states, "One sees the future, the other makes it happen." Unfortunately, many small businesses lack the skillsets necessary for this role within their team, as well as the financial resources to fill the position, especially for emerging franchises and businesses. This is where a Fractional Business Integrator can be of utmost benefit. They support the business in a more temporary, and often remote part-time capacity, all the while offering the same insights and guidance a full-time executive or Integrator would. And you guessed it, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hired position.

Let's define the Fractional Business Integrator

A Fractional Business Integrator is a consultant or an independent contractor that provides specialized services to help emerging businesses become more successful. They help galvanize the company leadership team to execute the vision of the Visionary. In addition, having worked with a multitude of similar businesses, they bring extensive expertise and knowledge to the table. This can ensure your business runs at peak performance and reaches its full potential!
