Some leadership gaps can’t wait six months for a traditional search.
Embedded, part-time or full-time-equivalent leadership for organizations navigating a gap, a major initiative, or a transition that needs senior ownership immediately.
How engagements are structured
Engagements typically run three to twelve months with a defined scope and a clear handoff plan if the role converts to a permanent hire. Susan also maintains the capacity to run multiple concurrent fractional engagements, so a single client relationship is never a bottleneck.
Who this fits
- Organizations between permanent leaders in HR, Organizational Effectiveness, or Change Management functions.
- Companies undertaking a major transformation that needs dedicated senior leadership, not just outside advisory.
- Boards or executive teams that want to test drive the function before committing to a permanent hire.
This isn’t new territory
Susan has spent more than sixteen years working in embedded, senior leadership capacities. It’s a substantial part of how she has worked since 2009, not a new service line.
