HR.com: The New Era of Fractional C-suite Executives

Is the C-suite model reaching its breaking point? The pressure on our CXOs is relentless. The checklist for being a ‘good’ CXO seems to grow each week.

Many C-suite professionals are increasingly disillusioned with the corporate grind.It's no surprise — balancing these demands with personal wellbeing can feel out of reach.

Placing too much expectation and reliance on one individual is a dangerous game — for both the professionals and the organisations they work for.

There comes a moment when we need to stop and consider whether there is a better way of doing things. And no, the answer isn’t just to add another full-time CXO role to the table.

We need to seriously rethink the C-suite construct.

Moving the C-suite from the payroll to an access role provides a welcome relief. From a peer-based to a team-based approach, scaling up or down based on the situation at hand. But, not just as a ‘temporary solution’.

An access-economy, team-based approach that utilises deeply knowledgeable, committed, and connected portfolio C-suite executives working fractionally and on-demand is the future of the C-suite.

This is not just for growing SMEs; it applies to Corporates and Group CXOs too.
