Fractional Engagement
You have a department that is not carrying its weight. Timelines slip, partnerships fade, while handoffs between internal capabilities and external partners are missed.
How can we bring this department back to the top of its capabilities?
Outcomes can include establishing a Center of Excellence, Strategic Initiatives Interim Lead, Change Management, and more. We are flexible and anchored on YOUR needs.
Returning a vertical to factory settings.
People mean well, but when they don’t communicate or perform – everyone suffers. We can do something about that.
One recent client has suffered through organizational politics and disjointed communication as they try to secure costly graduate consulting projects. Ultimately, alumnus populations are disengaged & partners are unwilling to sign as a consequence. Open Seas was able to organize workplace traffic by purposefully building a Quality Management System that answers questions related to spend, fit, and succession. We tackled personnel issues along the way, leading to two urgently needed headcount reductions.
By applying systems & quality principles to the operations of a business, we can dig deep enough to understand causality of organizational challenges. Once we know that an issue stems from leadership, process maturity, Open Seas will be prepared to offer a piece of our complementary array of services. From behavioral and motivational coaching for the front-line or for executives, we have the knowledge base to turn ships around.
Key Outcomes
Let us assist in workforce development & headcount reduction. Through performance & decision tools, we can clearly detect where you are falling short. We can back our work with reliable data and can also indicate where you may level your resourcing or hire/promote.

What is your Operations Audit?
we can perform an Operations Audit to ensure vital currents connecting your business are updated, integrated, and ultimately performing at the top of capabilities. Outcomes include bringing your disjointed systems (people & processes) back to working order. We will give you a strategic roadmap which tracks through your home today and your destination in many years. You will enjoy a seamless and complementary Discovery Period before we begin.
We need to set up a strategic operational excellence office - can you help?
We are equipped for this very scenario. We bring our tools, templates, and training to every job. We proudly will hand you our vital resources so you may become a sustaining and effective strategic initiatives (OpEX) department in short order.
Yes, we can upskill your current office with project management and continuous improvement methods. However, sometimes our clients don’t want to put a band-aid on what they would consider a forest fire. Being an effective decision maker means making hard cuts. While you are searching for your new office lead, bring us in for 3-6 months and let us set you on the right path.
What can you do differently?
The key is performing root cause on other departments. Understanding what is going right throughout the rest of the organization gives us an idea of what the top of our capabilities are. From here, we can apply good habits to the department in question to move from a vicious cycle to a virtuous cycle.
We are also intersectional. We don’t get caught up in the obscure terminology and litany of trivia that others might. We stick to simple, understandable, and effective. Does that interest you?
