This involves the rapid provision of integrated senior management support. Often a client has a requirement to manage growth, change direction or expand into new markets. The breadth and depth of experience an Interim Manager brings will benefit the client without diluting the focus of the in house team. Interim professionals are therefore both strategic and hands on managers who are frequently over qualified for the equivalent permanent role. They operate as Ltd companies and do not therefore go onto the clients' payroll. They are generally paid a daily rate. A typical assignment is between 6 and 12 months with the timescale more often being defined by the completion of the project.

The following are examples of situations where interim managers are of particular value:

• Change Management
• Business Acceleration
• Crisis Management
• Gap/ Project Management

The IMA run a one-day workshop for candidates who are new to interim management, which provides a useful source of information on the industry. The course also offers advice on finding the best interim provider to match your skills and benchmarking your skills against the industry standard, and examines the core competencies required in successful interim executives.
