INTERIM EXECUTIVE SERVICES. Taking an active role and accountability for implementing major strategic initiatives and managing special projects to successful conclusion. Increasingly, organisation are seeking experienced executives to fulfill interim roles, typically to achieve specific deliverables such as mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, restructurings or new market entry. The use of interim executives is also driven by a rapidly changing and real time competitive landscape, adoption of lean and virtual business models and integration of new technologies that can, from time to time, lead to gaps in executive level skills. The interim executive may be engaged to fill the vacancy, provide much needed skills and experience and will bring urgency and objectivity to the role. RAPID TIME TO VALUE. Research has shown that interim executives achieve goals 20 times faster than permanent senior managers and are fully up to speed within one week. Engagement of interim executives provides immediate value. Organisations often know and understand what they wish to achieve, but may lack the senior resources to implement the process. Traditional routes to engage a senior level manager or executive are often slow and expensive and involve complicated long term contract negotiation, whereas an interim executive is quickly contracted, sometimes with less than a week's notice, to complete a specific deliverable and is remunerated accordingly.
