FRACTIONAL INTEGRATOR
In some organizations, the title is COO or GM. This is the person who increases an organization’s capacity. They run the day-to-day and holds the team accountable, likes the details, and follow through so the Founder/CEO/Owner can create and hold the company’s vision. A Fractional Integrator is good fit for companies that lack a strong operational leader, are in-between leaders, or have an operational leader who could benefit from the support of an outside resource. Fractional Integrators can support your organization in the following ways:
Refining the Strategy
Organizational Realignment
Implementing Best Practices
Executing the Plan
Ensuring Accountability
MENTORING
Some of the most common advice for entrepreneurs is to “find a mentor.” Whether it’s an individual, a peer group of similar entrepreneurs, or an external advisory board, developing a mentoring relationship is essential to your success.
It’s understandable—after all, it’s good advice; having a mentor relationship is often a dream come true. A mentor is a teacher, a trusted advisor that a budding entrepreneur can turn to with questions and get valuable advice, tailored directly to their industry and specific business situation.
But, how do you actually go about finding a mentor? While sometimes the relationship forms organically, it’s too much to hope that the perfect mentor will simply drop into your lap.
Entrepreneurial Advisory Institute (EAI) can form, facilitate and lead a variety of mentoring and advisory services and relationships. Let us help choose the one that’s right for you.
