An executive who works several days a month, on an ongoing basis, rather than a one-off full-time assignment.
Shared-time (or fractional) executive work refers to an executive or expert manager working within a company for a limited share of time — for example 2 days a week or 6 days a month — on a recurring basis and over a long period, sometimes without a predefined end date. It’s a common format for CFO, HR director, or industrial management roles in SMEs that don’t have the activity volume to justify a full-time position.
Transition management addresses a one-off situation with an end date: a vacancy to fill, a transformation to lead, a crisis to resolve. Shared-time work, on the other hand, addresses a recurring structural need: the company needs leadership expertise on an ongoing basis, but not full-time. The two formats can even follow one another: a transition assignment can lead into shared-time support once the situation has stabilized.
MT-Transition points clients toward this format when the initial diagnosis shows a lasting need rather than an exceptional situation — it’s one of the points we clarify from the first conversation with a client.
