Sean, Founder & President VIB

Chad started us with an assessment and then met with myself and our management team weekly to move many “ rocks “ up the hill. We accomplished great milestones and implemented operational strategies and structures with Chad’s help. I highly recommend his services. He is expert, flexible, a good communicator and easy to work with.

Cassi, Chief of Staff, LimRic

Chad has helped us work through a lot of the obstacles that were in the way of us achieving our goals. We have learned to set realistic goals, set a cadence to meetings, include the team in goal setting and execution, and most importantly, be accountable to our commitments…. after the work we have done together we consider him an integral part of our team.

Brittany, Partner at Strategic Accounting Outsource Solutions

“Chad was a pleasure to work with from day one... What he offers is applicable to every single non profit or business! I’d highly recommend having a conversation with him.”

Melvin, Founder Fluid Strategy

Chad worked with me as a fractional COO puting together a customer journey, a process map, and an organizational chart. He was excellent to work with and has been instrumental in getting many aspects of my business automated. If you want to take your business to another the level from an operational perspective, he's your man.

Derek, Founder & CEO, The Artist Evolution

If you want to build systems and processes for scale, hiring Chad should be your next step. Chad helped our agency to simplify a complex process in revamping our org chart, providing clarity and measurement for each position, creating repeatable processes, and expanding into new markets. Highly recommended!

FAQs

We begin by observing and assessing your current business systems and structures. Then, we work with your leadership team to identify key areas for efficiency improvement, ultimately creating a customized plan for implementation to guide you in achieving your long-term professional goals.
A flexible position, a Fractional Chief Operating Officer adds executive experience to your company without the financial commitment of a full-time hire, with benefits such as:
- Insight into better business practices
- Improvements to operational efficiency
- Implementation of effective frameworks and systems
- Unbiased assistance towards team cohesion
- Competitive advantage from someone who’s familiar with the industry
- As a contract position, Fractional COOs do not require employee benefits such as bonuses or perks
If you’ve ever asked yourself any of the following questions, then you could benefit from a Fractional COO:
- Am I maximizing my business’s revenue potential?
- Will I ever be able to move away from working on the day-to-day operations?
- Could my project management be more streamlined?
- How do I give my business an edge up over the competition?
- How do I align my business goals with my core values?
One of the greatest things about a Fractional COO is the flexibility: we flex to fit your problems.
We utilize an agile project management approach, meaning we pivot for your needs. Everything we do is fully-customized for your business needs, meaning no project is too big or too small. We meet you where you are right now to achieve your future goals, whatever they might be.
Working with Future State is a collaborative, partnership experience. Our goals are two-fold: to help you succeed in both your professional AND your personal life. We are not coming in to simply tell you and your company what to do, but to work together in a way that is in alignment with you and your core values. Combining stat-based analytics with an authentic, human experience, Future State will pivot to meet your needs.
Our partnership can last for as long- or as short- as you need to achieve your objectives. We prefer to remain agile and flexible - while retainers are the norm, our outsourced COOs can also be project-based, part-time, or interim.
We also offer Fractional Integrator services for businesses running on EOS® (Entrepreneurial Operating System®).
