fractional cdo
many organisations need digital leadership, but not a full-time position. a fractional cdo gives you strategic and technical weight at c-level, scaled to what your business actually needs.
what is the difference between fractional and interim?
the two terms are often confused, but they cover fundamentally different needs.
a fractional cdo is an ongoing part-time resource. you get a permanent strategic partner who knows your business, takes responsibility for the digital direction and combines strategy with concrete execution. it is the right model when you do not need a full-time hire, but will not settle for a consultant who delivers a report and leaves.
an interim cdo is a time-limited full-time resource. typically engaged for three to twelve months to cover an urgent need, a transformation phase or a bridge to a permanent hire. availability and price reflect full-time.
| fractional cdo | interim cdo | |
|---|---|---|
| availability | part-time, fixed frame | full-time |
| duration | ongoing | time-limited (3-12 months) |
| purpose | strategy and ongoing execution | urgent need or transition |
| anchoring | builds knowledge over time | starts from zero |
what it means in practice
we step in as an active part of your organisation. not as a consultant with an end date,
but as a permanent commercial resource that takes responsibility for the digital direction and for carrying it out.
that means we are in the meetings, manage agencies and suppliers, prioritise backlogs and make sure
things happen between the meetings. we know what works in operation, not only on a slide.
over time we build a deep understanding of your business, your organisation and your market.
that understanding is what separates a fractional cdo from a consultant. we do not start over every time.
we build on.
digital strategy
& roadmapping
we take your business goals and turn them into a digital strategy with clear priorities, milestones and ownership. not a strategy document gathering dust, but a roadmap you can execute on.
system landscape
& architecture
we review your current technology landscape, identify where it blocks growth, and design the architecture that scales the business rather than locking it in.
ai
& automation
we help you identify where ai and automation actually create value in your business. not as a goal in itself, but as a means to free up time, reduce errors and scale what works.
execution
& anchoring
we take responsibility for the strategy not ending up in a report. we prioritise, manage and secure progress, and we break down the silos so the organisation can carry it on by itself.
who we work for
we work for experience and membership businesses. clubs, museums, venues and cultural institutions, and businesses that live off subscriptions, season tickets and memberships.
the common trait: many people have an ongoing relationship with the brand, but the commercial architecture behind it is rarely built to activate it. if that is not you, we are probably not the right match, and we would rather say so now than in three months.
are we the right match?

faq
what is a fractional cdo?
a fractional cdo is an experienced digital leader who works for your company part-time. you get strategic leadership and execution power at c-level, but only pay for the hours that create real value for your business. the need for specialist skills at a high level means the model is quickly gaining ground in scandinavia.
what is the difference between a fractional and an interim cdo?
an interim cdo is typically full-time for a limited period, often for urgent needs or transitions. a fractional cdo works part-time on an ongoing basis and builds knowledge of your business over time. that gives more stable anchoring and a better connection between strategy and execution.
when is fractional the better choice?
when you need strategic digital leadership, but not enough tasks for a full-time role. or when you want to avoid the risk of hiring an expensive profile before you know exactly what you need. a fractional model lets you scale up and down as needed.
what can we expect in the first 30 days?
the first 30 days are about understanding your business properly. we map goals, setup and where things stall, and we deliver a clear prioritisation of what it takes to move on. but that is the start, not the end. from day one we are an active part of your organisation, and we stay until the strategy can be felt on the bottom line.
