Ways to engage
Fractional, Interim, Project-based
On your terms. No juniors. No subcontracting without your say-so.
The person in the room is the person with the experience.
Ways to engage
Strategy through to execution
A senior seat,
part-time
Fractional
Twenty years in senior People & Culture, with the last six at the Chief People Officer level. Enterprise thinking brought into a ten-person scale-up or a thousand-person business.
Fit for:
You need senior judgement in the room but cannot justify a permanent CPO yet.
What “done” looks like
A people role that functions without SMP&C with senior judgement embedded.
The CPO seat, for a defined window
Interim
Working with founders, owners, boards, and executive teams. Translating business strategy into people action, aligning direction, and keeping day-to-day on course.
Fit for:
CPO exit, acquisition, restructure, or the search is taking longer than planned.
What “done” looks like
A clean handover. The incoming hire walks into a function that's already working.
A defined piece of work, start to finish
Project-based
You already know there's more in the business. Sarah reads the whole system, names the real roadblock, and unlocks the potential that's already there.
Fit for:
The thing is project is adopted, and handed over.
What “done” looks like
The project is built, adopted, and handed over. SMP&C is not in the building.
Strategy through
to execution
A defined piece of strategic work, carried all the way through to where it's embedded in the organisation and delivering the needed results.
Delivered by the same person that scoped the work.
“Engagements are scoped to the shape of work”
Sarah McLeod - Founder SMP&C
