Interim Management

Interim management is increasing in popularity as companies recognize the benefits associated with rapid replacement of executives in key positions. It is clearly a viable option for startups where the ability to attract experienced managers to a smaller operation is difficult. It is the best option in the following situations:

• Operational expertise is needed on a short term or part time basis.
• An executive search is taking longer than expected or candidates are difficult to locate.
• The company is in Development stage and operational input is needed, but not on a full time basis.
• Investors require access to experienced operational management before they are willing to fund.
• An unexpected departure of an executive results in unacceptable risk profile on critical programs or functions.
• Additional management capacity needed for unanticipated business opportunities.
• New opportunities need to be piloted to establish viability prior to committing to ongoing funding.
• Operations are being discontinued or relocated and experienced management is needed only for the term of the relocation or closure.
