From my first contact with OdgersInterim to my current involvement with them, I have found their team consistently helpful. Their pre-assignment briefing and research is thorough which ensures that the first meeting with clients is effective. Ongoing project support and administrative procedures are very sound ensuring that as an interim I can focus on carrying out the task for the client. This is all set within a cheerful and professional context and a genuine and continuing interest in individuals.
Interim Management Explained
Interim management has become an established management practice. Its use is growing rapidly as organisations realise it offers cost effectiveness and flexibility. It enables an organisation to use the skills of a highly experienced person to fulfil its needs at a particular moment in its life. An interim assignment can vary in length but it is likely to be between three and six months.
As interim managers are often hired to deliver a specific project, they are unlikely to operate as temporary cover simply to maintain the status quo. In fact they are more usefully employed to bring change and fresh thinking to an organisation.
Effective interim management should be about embedding good practice and leaving a legacy of improvement and it is important that both parties feel satisfied that this has been part of the outcome.
