An Interim Manager.....a Contractor by another name?
A common misconception, and one that can lead to companies overlooking a vital resource that can have an immediate and game-changing impact on the organisation. Where Contactors are consummate professionals with sought after talents who are often required for spikes in workload, extended absences or for a niche skills gap, Interim managers are typically seasoned business veterans.
Interim management is the provision of an executive contracted on a short-term basis to carry out a specific management task within an organisation. Increasingly, Interim managers are recognised as the practical alternative to management consultants.
True Interims are, at their core, specialists who have finessed their craft and evolved into respected business leaders who can take a holistic view of your organisation, whilst honing in on the problematic specialist issue that you face. This could be any area of your business; leadership, HSE, finance, asset management, supply chain, sales, business development, HR- they will define the challenge in a meaningful business context.
Interims’ wider experience allows them to decipher a particular issue taking into consideration the overall impact it has to the organisation and design and implement a solution that your talent can utilise to ensure SUCCESS. They are the catalysts of change to take you to the next level, positive disrupters who see the issues you may be blinkered to.
Our bank of respected Interims are carefully selected, vetted and possess proven expertise and gravitas to discretely integrate into your business and infuse their hard-earned wisdom, within a defined timescale, positioning you solidly on the path for excellence.
