Fractional COO Service for Nonprofits
I’m in a refining season, and I want to be transparent about it. As I continue serving nonprofits, I’m narrowing my focus to the work that energizes me and creates the most impact. That is why I’m offering a Fractional COO service so mission driven teams can get executive level operations leadership without the full time hire. If you want the overview, visit ccdynamics.org/fractional-coo.
What a Fractional COO does
A Chief Operating Officer turns strategy into everyday execution. A Fractional COO does the same on a flexible basis. I help you:
Turn vision into a plan leaders can run without me (fewer stalls, faster decisions).
Align people, process, and budget so initiatives launch on time and stay funded.
Clean handoffs across programs/HR/finance to reduce rework and late reports.
Build manager capability so operations don’t depend on one person.
Find and fix the 20% of bottlenecks causing 80% of delays.
Why this matters for nonprofits
Nonprofits carry real responsibility with lean teams. You cannot afford missed deadlines, unclear roles, or initiatives that never get traction. A Fractional COO brings stability and momentum while protecting your culture. I help nonprofit leaders stabilize operations by cutting meeting drag, clarifying ownership, and lifting on-time deliverables so programs scale without burning out the team.
Cost savings with real value
A full time COO can cost six figures plus benefits. The fractional model gives you senior leadership at a fraction of the cost, with a scope that can scale up or down as needs change. You also save time on hiring and onboarding, and you avoid the hidden costs of trial and error. In short, you get seasoned leadership now, focused where it moves the needle most.
How I work using Triple Loop Leadership
I anchor every engagement in my Triple Loop Leadership framework so improvements stick and teams grow while we build.
Loop 1 — Clarity: We define success, roles, and decision rights. We set a few meaningful metrics and build simple dashboards that leaders can actually use. You will know what matters, who owns it, and how to tell if it is working. (For example: 5 KPIs)
Loop 2 — Capability: We coach managers and set feedback rhythms that reduce friction across teams. Meetings become useful. Hand offs are clean. People grow in confidence because expectations are clear and support is real. (For example: +2 useful meetings/month)
Loop 3 — Change: We stand up scalable processes, pilot and iterate, and align budgets to strategy. Your organization learns how to adapt without chaos and how to improve without burning out the team. (For example: pilot > scale in 8 weeks)
The purpose behind my pivot
I have seen great missions stall because operations could not keep up. My purpose is simple: build systems that serve people—staff, volunteers, and the communities you care about. This service lets me live that purpose while helping leaders do good work at a sustainable pace.
