Through interim management a company can access an experienced, senior ‘hands-on’ manager, hand-picked to match their very specific needs. This will be someone with a proven track record working in the consumer sector.
Its likely to be someone who has successfully tackled the issues that you need help with, such as establishing a new operation, managing a merger or acquisition, handling a corporate turnaround or introducing new technology.
Interim managers are available immediately whereas a permanent employee, by the time they have served their notice period, may take many months to be up and running.
Typically hired for 6-9 months, interim managers are adept at walking into often a very challenging situation, where the need is immediate, the timeframe is tight and where they need to make things happen fast
With an interim manager you get a lot of ‘bang for your buck.’ They are usually over-qualified for each assignment, providing an organisation with access to experience and talent which it couldn’t afford on a permanent basis, but which in the short-term will deliver incredible value
Interim management allows a company to boost its team without adding to permanent headcount – a key consideration in some situations.
Interim managers are not planning a long- term career in an organisation. So they will not be afraid to be candid – telling the senior team what they need to hear.
This also means they stand outside an organisation’s politics. They aren’t caught up by divisional rivalries or differences which can hamper major initiatives or change programmes.
In today’s fast changing climate, organisations want to be able to quickly respond to opportunities and take big decisions, fast.
With their ability to inject experience as and when it’s needed, interim managers are ideal during such times.
Interim managers are cost effective and powerful alternative to management consultants. They can deliver and implement change as well as advise, they are focused on delivering results fast and importantly they will share their knowledge and experience with the team before they leave an assignment.
Interims also don’t involve complex contracts or termination costs and they don’t have the complexity of consultancy contracts.
