What is a Fractional Ops Partner?

A fractional operations partner like Beth Jatcko is a professional who serves as a part-time or on-demand operations strategist and planner, focusing on aligning a company’s vision with its day-to-day execution.

A similar term, “Integrator”, comes from the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), where an integrator is the person responsible for harmonizing the major functions of a business, driving accountability, and ensuring that everyone is working toward the same goals. I do implement EOS, but my mission is more broad.

Key Responsibilities

• Aligning Vision and Execution: Ensure the leadership team’s vision is clearly communicated and operationalized throughout the organization.

• Driving Accountability:  Implement systems, processes, and metrics to keep teams on track and focused on priorities.

• Streamlining Operations: Identify inefficiencies and recommend solutions to improve workflows and productivity.

• Facilitating Leadership Meetings: Lead structured meetings to review progress, address challenges, and plan next steps.

• Handling Special Projects: Oversee critical initiatives, such as scaling operations, implementing new systems, or navigating periods of rapid growth or change.

When to Hire a Fractional Operations Partner

Organizations often benefit when they are scaling and need operational leadership but can’t justify a full-time hire. Their leadership team lacks someone to effectively integrate and align cross-functional efforts.
