Fractional Integrator for UK Companies Running on EOS®
Fractional Integrator for UK Companies Running on EOS®
Operating leadership built for UK SMEs - the Integrator seat, run properly, whether your leadership team is in one office or spread across the country.
Typical engagement: £2,000–£4,600/mo
Quick answer
Krishna Kumar provides Fractional Integrator services for UK SMEs running EOS®, delivered video-first with optional quarterly in-person days, for £2,000–£4,600 a month. The role runs the Level 10 Meeting, owns the Scorecard, and drives quarterly Rocks to completion.
The framework
What is a Fractional Integrator?
The Integrator runs the business day to day. The Visionary drives ideas and relationships. A Fractional Integrator fills the Integrator seat part-time.
EOS® reached the UK later than the US, but adoption has grown quickly - England was specifically called out, alongside North America and Australia, as one of the fastest-growing EOS® markets outside its home country. For a UK leadership team, that means fewer local Implementers to choose from than in the US, but real momentum: the businesses adopting EOS® here now are rarely the last movers.
The UK's official definition of an SME - fewer than 250 employees - lines up almost exactly with the 10-250 employee range EOS® itself targets, which is part of why the framework has found a natural audience among UK founder-led businesses trying to professionalise without turning corporate.
Most UK engagements run over video by default, with a fixed weekly slot for the Level 10 Meeting™ and an optional in-person day each quarter - practical for leadership teams split between, say, a head office in Manchester or London and remote directors elsewhere in the country.
Symptoms
Signs the Integrator seat is open - even if no one's said it out loud
The founder is running both seats, quietly burning out
A UK founder acting as both Visionary and Integrator often absorbs the accountability gap personally - chasing Rocks themselves instead of running the business.
The Level 10 Meeting has no fixed weekly slot
Without a locked time each week, meetings get bumped for client calls or site visits, and the Issues List quietly grows instead of shrinking.
The Scorecard isn't reviewed against goal weekly
Management accounts get reviewed monthly by the accountant, but nobody's watching the 5–15 leading numbers that would catch a problem three weeks earlier.
Rocks get agreed at the away-day, then forgotten
Quarterly priorities get whiteboarded with enthusiasm off-site, then nobody checks percent-complete until the next away-day rolls around.
Scope of work
What the seat actually covers, week to week
Not advisory hours. Not a slide deck at the end of the quarter. This is the operating work of the Integrator seat, done consistently, every week.
Own the Level 10 Meeting
Lock a fixed weekly slot, hold the agenda inside 90 minutes, and drive the Issues List to IDS decisions rather than repeated discussion.
Own the Scorecard
Review the 5–15 weekly numbers against goal, flag anything off-track immediately, and assign a name and a date to fix it - separate from the monthly management accounts.
Drive Rock and to-do completion
Check in with each Rock owner weekly, unblock what's stuck, and report a clear on-track/off-track status at the next Level 10.
Keep the Accountability Chart current
Confirm the right person is in the right seat as the business grows, and flag GWC gaps to the Visionary before a hiring decision goes wrong.
Translate the V/TO into a working quarterly plan
Turn the Visionary's ideas into a sequenced plan the rest of the Leadership Team can execute against, not just discuss.
Coordinate across UK offices and remote directors
Keep execution consistent whether the team is in one building or split across several UK locations, without letting distance become an excuse.
The signature artifact
The Scorecard doesn't lie
This is the artifact a Fractional Integrator owns every week - five to fifteen numbers, reviewed against goal, with a name and a date attached the moment one goes off-track.
| Metric | Goal | W1 | W2 | W3 | W4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New leads / wk | 25 | 28 | 31 | 22 | 27 |
| Rocks on-track % | 80% | 75% | 80% | 85% | 90% |
| Cash position | $150k | 142k | 138k | 129k | 121k |
| L10 start on time | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y |
| Client churn | <2 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 4 |
Illustrative sample - your Scorecard is built around the 5–15 numbers that actually predict your business, not this list.
“Our leadership team is split between Manchester and two remote directors. Before this, the Level 10 Meeting was whoever showed up. Now it's the one meeting nobody skips, because the Scorecard actually gets acted on.”

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this inside or outside IR35?+
Engagements are contracted business to business through my company, for a defined outcome rather than a set number of supervised hours, which normally sits outside IR35. Your own advisers make the final determination for your company.
How is it priced and invoiced in the UK?+
The Clarity Sprint is £3,200 for two weeks, then from £2,000 a month, agreed in writing after the Sprint. Invoiced monthly in pounds.
Do you work with UK teams in real time?+
Yes. Your weekly leadership meeting sits in UK working hours on a fixed day, and my day overlaps yours from the morning onward. That has been the pattern with UK clients for over a decade.
We are a UK scale-up, not an EOS company. Does that matter?+
No. Most UK founders I speak with do not run EOS. They have a leadership team, too many priorities, and nobody owning follow-through. The seat works the same way: one weekly meeting, a short scorecard, and priorities with a single owner each.
