Magical Teams is an embedded, fractional operations consulting team of business management experts dedicated to helping mission-driven small businesses, startups, and nonprofits.
With our proven data-driven operations strategies, high-quality implementation, and people-first approach, we can help your business transform into a high-performing, well-oiled machine that doesn't sacrifice its people along the way.
A lot of sage startups don't know they need operations or even what "it" is. We try to make ops management best practices accessible for everyone-especially for those who aren't operations-minded.
Initially, you use cardboard, duct tape, grit, and definitely blood, sweat, and tears as building materials. The building is held up by a small number of people using all of their arms and limbs to keep it from falling down.
Eventually (hopefully!), those are traded out for more substantial infrastructure with the right strategy, people, processes, and systems. That infrastructure is āoperationsā! Itās hard to define because operations management touches just about everything.
If youāre in the phase of business growth where you need to up-level your ābuildingā, then getting the right support, at the right time, for you and your needs can feel like an insurmountable challenge.
We talk with many burnt out and weary potential clients who have spent a lot of time and resources and still lack the support they need.
We are not your average management consulting agency.
ā
We've meticulously crafted our unique model and methodology, setting a
high bar for quality and ensuring a truly integrated and effective solution for
your business.
We highly vet our team for experts and only use the people for your projects that you need, when you need it. This allows us to maximize the value of their expertise while still giving you savvy strategic operations partnership.
Before managers, you need builders. This is where we shine. We help you figure out what you need + when you need it + we build it + advise on who you need to hire ongoing. We ebb and flow with you and your growth.
We operate in your business and tech tools as an extension of your team. Weāre not a vendor, we are your team. The best part is that we manage you, your team, and all of the projects, which means we can reduce your involvement significantly.
We donāt believe in one-size-fits-all tactics. We are industry, tool, and framework agnostic, and are always adding more expertise. We customize the way we work with each client so our collaboration is as efficient and effective as possible.
We are people-first and our team truly matters to us. We provide them with weekly mentorship and level up plans and then we get out of their way. It makes a difference if the people supporting you are set up for success and thriving.
Our āpod teamā format provides consistency and cohesion because they know the ins and outs of your business. They're the main point of contact, handling all project management and any additional support added to projects.
Weāre all about peopleāwhether itās our clients, their teams, or our own team. We believe real success happens when everyone feels supported, valued, and empowered. Itās not just a business strategyāitās who we are.
Weāre committed to working with clients who believe in DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging) management. Itās not just a buzzword for usāitās at the heart of everything we do. We make sure our solutions promote inclusive management practices where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
Good isnāt good enough for us. Weāre here to help teams go from good to magical.
