Interim management is frequently the short-term appointment of a highly experienced, field proven executive to manage a transition (e.g. an Out-sourcing or In-sourcing), a crisis (a critical, immediate technology remediation plan) or cultural / business change programme within an organisation. An IM placement typically occurs where a permanent role may be inappropriate (need a new perspective, no ‘baggage’) unnecessary (a fixed, short term or not fulltime) or to meet an immediate need (no time to make a permanent appointment). Interim managers are often more than qualified for the role; they will have significant, relevant experience of similar challenges enabling them to have an immediate positive impact. IM’ers are accountable line managers who will implement and manage a business or project in their own right - rather than taking on a purely advisory role and are committed to an interim career - the challenge of differing assignments, pride in maintaining the highest standards knowing that reputation is everything.
