What does interim management achieve? There are many reasons for choosing an interim manager. Often you could be coping with a sudden departure: perhaps a redundancy or maternity leave. There are strategic reasons too. You might have a skills gap because you're planning a merger or acquisition. Or you could be facing closure or turnaround. Of course there are always times when you find a pressing need for project management. The manager you choose and the assignment length depends on the scale of your project or programme. A typical duration is a minimum period of three months rising to a maximum of around a year. Interim management offers significant benefits compared with trying to plug a gap yourself: Rapid delivery We can deliver candidates within 24 hours. That means someone starting work on site within days, not weeks or more often months. Cost Bringing in an interim manager can be far less expensive than embarking on an executive search. Background Interim managers come equipped with the relevant business skills and a proven track record. They are often over-qualified for the job and can mentor both upwards and downwards within your organisation. Results Interim managers are results driven because they know they are only as good as their last assignment. Track record is vitally important to them.  Print this page
