Interim management is a flexible, short-term executive solution with long-term benefits for organisations and businesses going through change. Over recent years it has become an established executive resource strategy for enterprises and organisations in the private and public sector. Many businesses now view interim management as a cost-effective and positive way to obtain highly specialised and valuable leadership skills at a time they are needed most. These skills can have an instrumental effect on a company's sustainability, growth and survival.
Interim management uses include:
- Implementation of change programmes
- Covering the sudden departure of key people where skills need to be replaced quickly
- Turnaround scenarios requiring experienced, senior management input
- Filling management skill gaps within the organisation.
Interim managers are by their nature talented people. They have to be highly experienced in line management. They have to be able to adapt rapidly to new cultures and operational processes and they have to be results driven with a dedication to leading change and making a difference. Interim Managers have made a commitment to act as independent directors. Their independence allows them to provide objective and dispassionate advice to our clients. Importantly, Interim Managers do not seek permanent positions and thrive on the challenge and variety of working across clients and sectors. They are set up to operate through their own limited companies and have professional indemnity insurance.
