"It takes two types of leaders at the helm of a 10-250 person entrepreneurial organization to . . . hit the next level. They're known as the Visionary and the Integrator."
— Mark Winters and Gino Wickman, from the book – Rocket Fuel

You see the value of and are ready for an Integrator to take your vision and execute it, but . . . you're not ready for the added overhead of a full-time Integrator to join your team.
A Fractional Integrator is a part-time member of the Leadership Team responsible for executing the company vision and day-to-day operations in an organization.
A Fractional Integrator makes sense for organizations that don't have a strong second-in-command and can serve as a temporary resource while the company recruits and hires a full-time Integrator.
It is a cost-effective business solution that offers multiple organizations the same individual benefit by sharing the expense and calendar of a fully-equipped Integrator.
