Fractional Executives and Organizational Development

What are fractional executives and what IS organizational development? Why would you need either one?

 

Let's start with definitions! 

 

Fractional Executives: Senior professionals who provide executive-level management services to organizations on a part-time or contract basis. These could be interim CEOs, CFOs, development directors, communication directors, etc. They can also serve on a contract basis for organizations that don't need full-time staff in key positions. Fractional executives provide high-level support without ongoing salary expenses.

 

Organizational Development:

Strengthening an organization’s ability to reach its goals through alignment of strategy, structure, people, metrics and processes. Organizational Development ensures everyone is working at the top of their game to realize an organization's full potential! 

 

 

Why Would You Need

The LMD Group?

Dynamic organizations need strong organizational development. That seems like Leadership 101, but in a changing landscape (and isn't it ALWAYS changing?) organizational development often takes a backseat to day-to-day activities. At the end of the year when key benchmarks aren't met we wonder, "What happened?" Looking back, we see missed opportunities, bad hires, inefficient systems, miscommunication and a host of other issues that caused a lot of "busy-ness" but not results.

 

Or maybe you have big dreams but aren't quite sure how to get there. The vision is a little hazy, the objectives aren't quite clear or you're not sure who, or what, you need to turn that dream into reality. 

 

That's where good organizational development comes in...

 

And during times of transition, organizations can struggle to find the right expertise to ensure they stay on track. Top talent is expensive and can take months to retain and, in changing times, the talent you need in January may NOT be the talent you need in October. Fractional executives allow organizations the financial flexibility to adapt as their needs change!

 

The LMD Group can provide both the organizational development expertise and the fractional executives you need to ensure your organization thrives!

 

 

About Linda Maisch and The LMD Group

 

I'm Linda Maisch and in 30 years of managing organizations, there's not much I haven't seen! I've been a CEO and VP of marketing, public relations and fund development. I've led finance, customer service and special event teams during 911, Covid, multiple economic downturns and major funding losses. My teams have been part of organizations as small as ten and up to 300 in the nonprofit, private and government sectors. 

I've worked with organizations to scale up, increase revenue and build their programs! Long-term success begins and ends with a good strategy and the right people in the right places...all working at their full capacity. 

My passion for helping organizations reach their full potential led to The LMD Group. I know first-hand that the day-to-day tasks leading an organization can be all-consuming. I've worked with a lot of successful CEOs and they all realized two key facts:

1. They knew the critical role strong organizational development plays in long-term growth and stability.
2. They also know that without the right people dedicated to key strategic functions, those functions can quickly lag.  

That's where I can help!

I can work with you to assess your needs, track progress and help mobilize resources to reach your goals. Whether you need some short-term help or a longer commitment, we can find an option that works for you.

Need a little extra help? I can serve on an interim basis or as fractional executive providing you years of expertise...without the overhead!

 

Your first consultation is free.
