What is interim management?

Many organisations managing change find that the best way to ensure success, and quickly implement decisions is to appoint an interim executive with the skills to manage critical situations with confidence and experience. Interim Management can best be defined as the supply of experienced, highly qualified, independent senior executives appointed by organisations to fulfil a specific mission over an agreed period of time. It is a new way of working, in which an effective, fast and flexible resourcing option is provided to alleviate a short or medium-term gap in an organisation’s resources.

The decision to use an Interim Manager allows a company to maintain a lean and focused core management team while at the same time enabling it to draft-in senior professionals at short notice, in order to take full advantage of new opportunities or projects, or to fill temporary gaps in the senior management.

With the economic and demographic changes taking place globally, Interim Management has now become a valuable management resourcing tool, a trend set to continue far into the future.
