IT Interim Management Consulting

An Interim Manager is a professional resource directed at a short term management goal. Consider leasing a professional IT executive, on a flexible schedule, for a defined length of time.

Skilled Management, on Call

Interim Executives help a company to:

• quickly implement change
• fill unexpected gaps in management talent
• manage a project
• diagnose particularly difficult IT problems

Interim Manager Responsibilities

Interim managers provide:

• A fresh persona and up-to-date tactical thinking
• Short-term access to IT management talent
• An independent perspective
• The skills to closely guide a critical project

Example Scenarios

Some example scenarios where an Interim manager can help you include:

• After an IT leader unexpected departs, an interim IT manager assumes responsibility until a permanent replacement is appointed
• Restructuring calls for reduction in IT staff; the interim executive assists with this difficult task in a considerate, but impartial manner
• A urgent project requires a dedicated, unbiased project manager
• Additional part-time management help is needed; the justification cannot yet be made for hiring a full-time manager

Choosing an Interim Manager

Choose an Interim manager who has a specific, demonstrated understanding of IT project management. Look for a true Interim Management Service Provider, as opposed an executive search firm. Usually search firms only working to recruit permanent talent, rather than handling specific management assignments.

Interim Management Value

Interims are individuals who become part of your team for the duration of the engagement. Interim mangers add their greatest value when assigned to achieve a specific outcome, or to manage a part of the business.
