Signs You Need a Fractional COO
- Operations are chaotic - Things fall through cracks, there are no clear processes, and the team is firefighting constantly.
- Scaling is breaking things - What worked at 10 employees is not working at 50, and growth is creating operational strain.
- CEO is overwhelmed - The founder is too deep in day-to-day operations to focus on strategy and growth.
- Teams are siloed - Departments do not communicate well and there is no one coordinating cross-functional work.
- Preparing for rapid growth - You have funding or a big opportunity coming and need operations ready to scale.
