Businesses needing high-level knowledge on a part-time basis might consider fractional and interim services. Hiring these experts for a fraction of the time, while you figure things out on a more permanent basis later, will give you access to the leadership and expertise you need now, when you need it most, without requiring you to commit to a full-time executive or administrator who is not right for the job, or making other equally wrong desperate decision due to lack of better options.
