Fractional PMO & COO Services

Separate your Projects
from your Operations.

We help growing organizations build execution clarity by separating time-bounded projects from ongoing operational work, installing governance and handoffs that allow scale without chaos.

The Core Distinction

Two fundamentally different
modes of work.

Most execution problems stem from a single structural failure: treating project work and operations work as the same thing. They are not.

Mode 01
Projects
Grow the business

Temporary work with a defined outcome and end state. Measured by delivery, scope integrity, and clean handoff. Requires milestone governance and transition planning.

Mode 02
Operations
Run the business

Ongoing, repeatable work with no defined end date. Measured by stability, reliability, and throughput. Requires cadence, ownership clarity, and consistent controls.

Completion State
Finished Project

New system, process, or capability delivered. Scope closed. Milestones met.

Operating State
New Operation

Cadence, controls, reporting, and steady-state ownership established and running.

Why This Matters

What feels like a prioritization
problem is often a design problem.

"Execution breaks down when project work and operational work are governed the same way."

When teams run projects like operations and operations like projects, ownership blurs, priorities drift, and work never settles into a reliable rhythm. Initiatives linger without clear owners, and operational work gets disrupted by constant change.

As complexity increases, these structural issues compound: coordination costs rise, bottlenecks multiply, and execution becomes slower and less predictable.

Addressing this isn't about adding process. It's about installing the right structural separation so that each mode of work is governed appropriately, with clear handoffs between them.

Fractional PMO and COO Services

Modular engagements aligned to
how your organization optimally should execute.

01
Execution Architecture Assessment

Map all active work to clarify what is project-based, what is operational, and what completed initiatives have quietly become ongoing obligations. Identify ownership gaps, dependencies, and structural friction.

Outcome
A clear execution map and a prioritized correction plan.

02
Fractional PMO

Implement project intake, prioritization, milestone governance, and delivery discipline so initiatives complete on time and transition cleanly into operations. No delivery drag, no lingering projects.

Outcome
Projects that finish and hand off cleanly to steady state.

03
Fractional COO

Establish operating cadence, ownership models, controls, and management rhythms so the business runs reliably as complexity increases. Embedded operational leadership without the full-time cost.

Outcome
Stable operations with clear ownership and repeatable execution.

How We Work

The ADO Framework

A three-phase diagnostic and implementation model: Analyze, Differentiate, Operationalize.

01
Analyze

Map all active work to determine what is truly project-based, truly operational, and what completed projects have become ongoing obligations. Identify ownership gaps, workflow dependencies, and execution risk.

02
Differentiate

Separate project workflows from operational workflows. Clarify governance, decision rights, cadence, metrics, and handoff criteria so each mode of work is managed appropriately.

03
Operationalize

Implement lightweight systems to reinforce the separation and enable clean project-to-operations handoffs. Embed the model into existing platforms so execution scales without added bureaucracy.

Our People

Principal Biography

Daniel Weissman
Founder & Principal
Boston, Massachusetts
  • MBA, Boston University Questrom School of Business
  • Project Management Professional (PMP)
  • 15+ years in execution, governance & delivery
  • 100+ projects led across multiple sectors

Daniel Weissman is a cross-functional operating leader focused on helping organizations design execution systems that scale at the intersection of project delivery, operations management, and organizational design.

Much of Daniel's work has focused on a common and costly failure mode: organizations that blur project work and operations work, allowing ownership to fragment, projects to linger, and operational stability to erode. He helps leadership teams re-establish clarity by explicitly separating modes of work, defining governance and decision rights, and designing clean transitions from delivery into steady state.

He applies formal business training and disciplined execution frameworks in environments where growth has outpaced structure and where the gap between strategy and execution is widening.
