What is a Fractional Innovation Manager?

A Fractional Innovation Manager is an external expert who joins your team part-time to design, structure, and lead your innovation efforts  without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
I help you build a clear innovation strategy, run structured discovery and experimentation, support internal teams, and ensure your portfolio moves toward tangible business outcomes.This model is ideal for companies that need innovation structure, clearer prioritization, or support to validate and launch new solutions.

Where do you operate from?

I work remotely with clients across Europe and internationally. On-site sessions (workshops, team coaching, portfolio reviews, or kickoffs) are available on request  and I always enjoy meeting teams in person at the beginning of a mission.

What’s the difference between an ongoing engagement and a one shot mission?

I offer two flexible formats depending on what you need:

One-shot mission (10–15 days, over 1–3 months)
→ Perfect for clarifying your innovation strategy, structuring your roadmap, or validating a concept.
Deliverables typically include: strategy roadmap, opportunity map, experimentation plan, early GTM, or core innovation framework.

Fractional partnership (6–8 days/month, for 3–9 months)
→ Best when you need ongoing leadership, portfolio steering, team coaching, and process structuring.
I join your team recurrently to ensure continuity, alignment, and measurable progress.

How does the collaboration work day-to-day?

I integrate with your teams while staying flexible:

I participate in key rituals (reviews, stand-ups, committee meetings…)I run or coach discovery and experimentationI deliver templates, frameworks, methods, and decision toolsI facilitate alignment sessions with product, marketing, and leadership. I follow progress using portfolio dashboards and clear metrics.
The objective: bring structure, remove ambiguity, build capabilities, and help teams move faster with more confidence.

When should you bring in a Fractional Innovation Manager?

You should consider a fractional innovation engagement when:

Innovation feels scattered or slow to progress
Teams run experiments but lack clear methods and criteria
Your roadmap or opportunity portfolio is unclear
You need a structured approach to discovery or validation
You’re preparing a new solution for market adoption
You want to build internal innovation capabilities without hiring full-time
You want clearer governance and decision frameworks

In short: when you want innovation that actually delivers measurable business value.

What budget should we plan for this type of engagement?

Typical starting points:

€6000–€8000 for a one-time audit and key deliverables.
From €5000/month for ongoing fractional support (approx. 6 days/month).
 Each project is scoped to your context, product complexity, and desired outcomes.
