Who is and how works the Fractional Manager;Fractional Manager

Emex Partners is able to support you from the Top Level of Interventions, such as defining Operations Strategy, Infrastructure, and Performance Management, to the medium-low level, with a wide range of professional services specific to Operations Management.
Advantages for the company in using the Fractional Manager;Fractional Manager
Costs
The Fractional Manager is paid on an hourly or daily basis for the actual work performed, as agreed upon in the contract. The costs are clear and predefined, with no additional burdens typically associated with permanent contracts.
Flexibility
The Fractional Manager allows the client to tailor both the duration of the project-based contract, the number of days or hours, as well as the content and objectives.
Speed
The speed of making a change by inserting a Fractional Manager is often more important than the scale of the change itself. This is because the failure to resolve a problem or initiate a project leads to hidden costs, in addition to lost revenue.
Operational Efficiency
The Fractional Manager is intellectually independent, focused on results, and immediately immerses themselves in the specific business environment. They are well-received by the organization because their intervention is aimed at growth and is limited to a clearly defined timeframe.
Effectiveness
The Fractional Manager is not “biased” by the company’s daily operations, allowing them to propose solutions that might otherwise be unfamiliar to the organization. They are action-oriented, able to integrate quickly into the company’s fabric, and can communicate and interact with internal resources in a short amount of time.
Enrichment
The Fractional Manager brings diverse experiences, shares their expertise, and develops synergies, leaving all of this as new assets within the company.
Optimizzation
Even if a company’s operations are not losing money, there are always significant areas for improvement, which can lead to a substantial increase in margins by consistently seeking solutions tailored to the company’s starting reality.
Transfer of Responsibilities
When the entrepreneur is faced with making “delicate” decisions, the Fractional Manager can assist or, in some cases, temporarily step in to make those decisions. Furthermore, while performing their role, they transfer know-how and skills to the internal resources, ensuring the consolidation of the results achieved and continuity after their intervention ends.
