The Singapore Government has teamed up with New Zealand-founded start-up The Fractional Directory for a new pilot programme.

The project will pair fractional leaders - experienced professionals who work with multiple organisations on a flexible basis - with Singaporean companies.

Company CEO Michelle Allbon says this may seem similar to consultant roles, but there's some key differences.

"The different between consulting and fractional is that a fractional leader is fully embedded...we've seen this be really, really effective, it's not just giving them advice and throwing their PowerPoint over the wall."
