Fractional Chief Strategy Officer (CSO)
Strategy-to-Execution Alignment That Holds Under Constraints
What Is Fractional CSO?
Fractional CSO is an embedded strategic execution alignment role that converts strategic intent into capacity-true, sequenced, executable initiatives.
This service exists to answer:
What is actually executable within real capacity, timing, and decision constraints—and what must stop?
It is not brand strategy or market positioning consulting.
It is execution feasibility architecture for leadership priorities.
Why This Is Needed
Used when:
initiatives stall after launch
leaders disagree on priorities or sequencing
strategy exists, but execution reality contradicts it
teams are overcommitted and deadlines slip
operating capacity cannot absorb change velocity
How TJEG Performs the Fractional CSO Role
reconstructs execution capacity and constraint truth
converts goals into a sequenced initiative architecture
defines initiative decision cadence, escalation, and closure rules
removes conflicting directives and impossible commitments
establishes governance that prevents strategy theater
