Interim management services involve the placement of suitably qualified executives on assignment, with client organisations, to fulfil a variety of project briefs, which vary in content but typically involve the management of change and transition.
The seniority of the interim ensures that they are able to ‘hit the ground running’ and successfully achieve the desired outcomes, within the allocated time frame.
Interim Managers are also used to fill gaps at senior management or director level, across the full spectrum of business functions.

What are the key elements of managing change?
A clear and transparent process to achieve the required business benefits/goals is essential to proactively manage change and this has many benefits which include:
• Analysing current practice against the external market place
• Gaining buy in from key stakeholders
• Ensuring that effective leadership is clearly providing the vision and the rationale for change
• Assessing the impact of change on one area/department/site on another part of the organisation
• Understanding stakeholder concerns and anticipating conflicts
• Understanding the appropriate medium of communication to reach various groups
• Helping people cope with change, performance management and motivation
• Identifying and addressing resistance to change
• Effective project management to prevent slippages in timings, in achievement of desired outcomes, in ensuring that the projects do deliver as planned
• Identifying organisational risk in relation to employment legislation
• Identifying areas that require attention with immediate effect
• Creating an action plan for survivors of change
The results of change can remain with an organisation long after the nominal implementation date. The management of successful change can provide a powerful legacy for board, senior managers, staff and trade unions who can use it to move the business forward.
