FAQs

  • Fractional work involves bringing aboard an experienced executive who contributes to your team on a part-time basis, typically dedicating one to two days per week. This arrangement provides ongoing support and leadership, without the commitment or cost of a full-time position.

    For startups, opting for fractional work offers the advantage of minimizing upfront administrative costs and reducing the time invested in the recruitment process, including interviewing and hiring. By partnering with Rock Stack, you can swiftly connect with a seasoned leader and operator, allowing you to expedite your business operations and collaboratively tackle significant challenges, from strategy right through to delivery. A fractional engagement is a longer-term commitment with aligned value and interests.

    In contrast, project-based work resembles enlisting a specialized team for a specific mission. This approach is concentrated, intense, and task-focused. Defining project outcomes and approaches occurs upfront, with transparent milestones and deliverables. As a consultant in this scenario, your emphasis is on completing the assigned tasks rather than immersing yourself in a team to drive alignment and execution.
