| Interim management is the temporary use of a senior business manager by a company that needs to supplement in-house resources with additional skills or specific management experience. Sensibly over-qualified for the assignment, these senior managers and directors can be in place and working effectively within one or two weeks. Example assignments include:
Data Center Closure. The interim manager assumes responsibility for the old data center freeing your employee to manage the new environment.
Transition Management. This is a similar situation to shutting down a data center. In this case, the interim manager takes charge of the old organization until it is phased out.
Secondary Oversight. This work is designed to mitigate risk in complex projects or high risk organizational transitions - such as outsourcing. The interim manager provides additional oversight to existing management. This is often called a four eyes principle where an experienced, interim manager provides additional depth to the oversight role. |
