Management consultingfor SMEs and nonprofits.
Four ways to work together, from the first assessment to ongoing operations leadership.
01 · Organizational assessment
Find the bottleneck.
Before you invest.
An organizational assessment is an analysis of the organization and its processes, carried out with leadership. It shows where time, resources and opportunities are lost, and what is worth changing first.
We look at decisions, workflows, roles, tools and numbers. At the end, leadership has a clear picture and an action plan to start from, with me or on its own.
When you need it
- growth has outpaced the organization you had
- you are weighing new management software, a reorganization or an investment
- you want to know where AI can really help
- a nonprofit needs to strengthen its structure
What you get
- a map of the main processes and their weak points
- priorities ranked by impact and feasibility
- an action plan with owners, timelines and indicators
- a final review session with leadership
02 · Fractional operations leadership
One steady hand.
Without hiring an executive.
Many small organizations need a chief operating officer but cannot afford a full-time one. Fractional operations leadership, a fractional COO, is ongoing support a few days a month in that same role: holding priorities, people, numbers and projects together.
It is close to interim management, scaled for SMEs and nonprofits. It includes leading complex programs, international ones too, with distributed teams.
What I handle
- priorities, goals and leadership meetings that produce decisions
- operating model, roles, delegation and procedures
- management reporting and accountability to members and funders
- project management for projects and events, including with partners abroad
- representing the organization with partners, institutions and suppliers
How it works
- an agreed scope and schedule
- on site when needed, remote the rest of the time
- regular review of results with leadership
03 · Digital transformation and AI
From vision.
To adoption.
Digital transformation works when it starts from real work, not from technology. I bring digital tools and AI into companies and nonprofits where they create a concrete advantage, inside the tools you already use.
People are trained and usage rules are written before launch: which data can be used, who checks the output, what always remains a human decision. AI prepares and supports; decisions and outgoing communications stay with people.
What I handle
- process review and selection of the use cases with the highest return
- AI adoption inside existing tools
- staff training and hands-on support in the first weeks
- governance, security and data use rules, with the EU AI Act and GDPR in mind
- follow-through after launch, with corrections and adjustments
04 · Grants, funding and partnerships
New resources.
For the right projects.
Funding only helps if it supports a project the organization truly wants to deliver. I work with leadership on grant writing and fundraising strategy: which opportunities to pursue, which to pass on, how to build a credible application and how to run the project once it is funded.
I work mostly with nonprofits, including on grants from US foundations and on international partnerships.
What I handle
- research and selection of public funding calls and grants that fit the mission
- project design and application writing
- relationships with foundations and partners, in English too
- management of the funded project, deadlines and reporting

Then we keep it.

Decisions, processes, people and numbers, observed as they really work.
Design.
Priorities, operating model and plan, defined with leadership.
Implement.
Change led inside the tools already in use, with people trained.
Sustain.
Measurement, corrections and adjustments after launch.
Questions about the services
Straight answers.
Before we start.
Which service should we start with?
Almost always the organizational assessment: in a short time it gives leadership a clear picture and a plan. From there you decide whether to continue with fractional operations leadership, a digital transformation project, or on your own.
How is this different from an interim manager?
An interim manager usually works full time for a set period. Fractional operations leadership is designed for smaller organizations: an ongoing commitment of a few days a month, with the same view of the whole.
Do we have to change the software we use?
We start from the tools the organization already uses. New tools are considered only if they are truly needed, keeping third-party licenses and services separate from the professional fee.
What does it cost?
The fee is agreed before we start, based on scope. The assessment is a standalone professional engagement; fractional operations leadership is based on a monthly commitment we define together.
