With wages up 33 percent and short-term credit at 8.2 percent, the gap between cost and output widens unless someone redesigns the operation. Fractional COO engagements run $3,000 to $15,000 per month and convert that gap into a repeatable system. For most companies under 20 million in revenue, the math works long before a full-time COO does.</p> <p>Kamyar Shah, Fractional COO, World Consulting Group.</p> <p><a href="https://kamyarshah.com/fractional-coo-services-when-wages-rise/">kamyarshah.com/fractiona&hellip;</a></p>
