Why fractional people strategy works.
For many organizations, hiring a full-time HR or people strategy executive might not make sense financially or operationally. That’s where fractional HR leadership becomes a game-changer — and that’s where the SET collaborative comes in.
Why Invest in Fractional People Strategy with the SET collaborative?
Expertise on Demand: With over 20 years in organizational strategy and leadership, I bring hands-on experience across a spectrum of people and culture functions — from designing equity-driven hiring processes to crafting engagement strategies that empower teams. Fractional support through the SET collaborative means you get the benefit of that depth without the commitment of a full-time hire.
Customized to Your Needs: One of the key advantages of fractional support is flexibility. Whether you need strategic guidance on a specific project, interim leadership, or ongoing advisory support, I work closely with you to design a partnership that truly aligns with your unique needs. At the SET collaborative, we understand that each organization has its own challenges and aspirations, and we build our support to fit those specific contours.
Fresh, Objective Insight: Often, a fractional people strategist can spot things internal teams may overlook. I bring a neutral, values-driven perspective to assess what’s working well and what could be refined. My approach is rooted in building inclusive, empowering workplaces — and every project reflects that commitment.
Empowering Your Internal Team: A core philosophy of the SET collaborative is sustainable growth. Beyond just tackling immediate issues, I prioritize building the skills and systems that allow your internal team to carry forward the work independently. My goal is to help you establish a people strategy that remains effective and grounded long after our partnership concludes.
Key Questions to Consider Before Engaging Fractional People Support
To ensure fractional people strategy is the right fit for your organization, brilliant experts in the practice, Tomoko Yokoi and Amy Bonsall, suggest you ask yourself a few key questions:
What are our organization's most pressing people-related challenges? Are there gaps in leadership, strategy, or skills that an experienced external partner could help bridge?
Are we ready to bring in fresh perspectives, even if it means adjusting existing practices?
Do we have internal mechanisms to ensure the knowledge and processes introduced are retained and applied?
At the SET collaborative, I understand that your people strategy isn’t just about processes and policies — it’s about creating a space where your team feels seen, valued, and motivated to do their best work. Partnering with the SET collaborative offers the expertise, flexibility, and empowerment your organization needs to flourish in a rapidly changing world.
