Interim Management
Is the use of senior, professional managers on a fee and fixed term basis to undertake specific roles or projects over a set time period. Professionals on Contract Interim Managers are able to deliver high impact results as they:
Are sensibly over-qualified for the assignment
Add mature experiences, and skills, to create timely outcomes
Are hands-on managers meeting objectives from day 1
The use of Interim Managers has increased significantly over the last 10 years.
Those organisations using this interim management capability have the ability to react quickly to unanticipated issues, challenges, projects, crisis and have access to expertise and experience not immediately available within their organisations. Not surprisingly, interim managers are often used in time and profit critical projects.
