Interim Operations
Operations lies at the heart of an organisation – the desire to improve operational performance has inspired many innovations over the decades. Now, the rapid rise of digital, AI and automation technologies is accelerating the pace of change.
As the landscape has shifted, it’s unsurprising that we are seeing a surge in demand for interim operations directors with a new kind of skill set. The expertise of senior interim operations managers has evolved to encompass a greater depth and breadth of operational, technological and digital expertise. This is complemented by strong capability in managing the day-to-day organisation and coordination of a business function, services and resources.
Such sought-after skills offer immediate value to organisations going through transformational change, looking to reduce costs and/or drive operational efficiencies.
