Interim & Fractional Support

HatchForm offers Interim and Fractional Program Director services to help you achieve your economic development goals with expert guidance.1. Interim Program Director Services:
When you're faced with a leadership gap or a critical project requiring immediate attention, our Interim Program Director services step in to provide you with seasoned professionals who bring years of economic development experience to the table. Our carefully selected Interim Program Directors seamlessly integrate into your organization to bridge the leadership void and maintain momentum during transition periods.

Not every organization requires a full-time Program Director, especially for specific projects or during early-stage developments. Our Fractional Program Director services offer a flexible solution that allows you to access top-tier leadership on a part-time basis, precisely when you need it.

Example: Santa Fe Business Incubator

When the Santa Fe Business Incubator's program director accepted another position, the organization was left without a key staff member at a critical time. Luckily, HatchForm was able to step in and help the incubator bridge the gap.HatchForm's deep domain expertise in entrepreneur support programming and business incubation enabled the Santa Fe Business Incubator to conduct an executive search for the program director position without skipping a beat. HatchForm placed an interim program manager at the incubator while the executive search was taking place. In addition to the interim services HatchForm also helped onboard the new hire and provided the incubator with an end of term report outlining potential improvements to the program service model based largely on a client satisfaction survey spearheaded by our interim program manager.

Example: Local Innovators Institute

HatchForm worked with Lovington Mainstreet to design a food concept accelerator program called the Local Innovators Institute. Lovington MainStreet is located in the southeastern part of New Mexico. In their economic transformation strategies the organization wanted downtown Lovington to be a center for entertainment and dining. But, they weren't quite sure how to get there.Working closely with Lovington MainStreet's executive director Hatchform designed a food concept accelerator program that combined traditional model validation and customer discovery with time in a food truck to test the market viability of each participant's food idea. HatchForm also helped identify funding opportunities from the USDA and the State of New Mexico. Now the food truck (Big Blue) is getting a lot of use and Lovington MainStreet is much closer to realizing their dream of a downtown dining and entertainment district.Servicios legales relacionados con una transferencia de propiedad
