Why Interim Management?

Organisations typically choose interim managers either to fill roles that are temporary or to fill critical staffing gaps when a permanent employee cannot be found fast enough. Although they are frequently called 'consultants', interim managers differ from consultants because they serve in a more hands-on capacity.

These organisations quickly realise many benefits from using interim managers:

• Start in days, with minimum recruitment and termination formalities
• Welcome results-linked remuneration
• Are usually overqualified, bringing tremendous experience to address your business issues
• Deliver consistently and quickly
• Will transfer skills, contacts and experience to your team, which will remain long after they have left
• Have sensitivity to your company’s ethos but not constrained by its politics, personalities, or protocols
• Can be given a critical task on which to focus
• Help keep down permanent head count
• Highly cost-effective

What is Interim Management?

Interim management may be described as "the rapid hands-on resolution of business problems by highly experienced senior executives hired on a short-term basis of typically three to nine months." An interim manager on the other hand may be described as "an all-in-one project manager, consultant, and senior executive working at or near board level." More about interim management.

An interim manager will occupy a position that would typically command a salary of £50K plus.

Here's what some typical clients have said:

• "Not a low-cost option but excellent results and better value than a management consultant."
• "This was our first experience of an interim manager. He was worth his weight in gold."
• "We will certainly use interim management again."

And here are some typical interim manager comments:

• "I enjoy the challenge of each new project and the variety of work."
• "Achieving results quickly in difficult situations gives great satisfaction."
• "I continue to learn from each new project."
• "Freedom from corporate politics is great."
• "I know I have to deliver results. I'm only as good as my last project."
