What is Interim CEO or Management?

It has been described as "an all-in-one project manager, consultant, and senior executive working at or near board level".

The interim CEO or manager can provide:

• The latest thinking
• Short-term access to top talent
• An independent eye
• Strategic capability
• The ability to fast-track a critical project

CEO and interim managers are:

• Implementers as well as being strategists, analysts and planners
• Loyal to your business objectives – not their consultancy's objectives
• Focused on your profitability – not their consultancy's profitability. They are not incentivised to sell additional services you don't need
• Flexible to do what you need – not restricted to doing things the way their consultancy prescribes
• They are strategists as well as hands-on – they are on your team to deliver your strategy
• More cost-effective
