Credit Crunch and the Value of Interims to drive ‘change’

 

Interim managers can impact your bottom line for the better.  Not just technical wizards but, more importantly, change management interims.  Many organisations are under increasing pressure to deliver enhanced performance, retain and grow their customers at the same time as maximising their resources and cutting unnecessary costs.

 

What better way to manage than to appoint Interim change managers to design, deliver the required changes quickly with no fuss, and then exit the organisation once the project is implemented and fully delivered.

 

The benefits include not having the liability of an expensive resource with daily consultancy rates than can escalate if the project is not closely enough defined.  Instead, agreeing a process for delivering the results together with a ceiling on the fee is attracting many clients.

 

We know that an Interim change manager can make a huge impact quickly, ensure the project is implemented and then quietly exit the organisation when required.  It gives the client more control and focuses the Interim on delivery.

 

Already we have a series of projects including:

  • Diagnostics on corporate performance
  • Designing and managing 360 degree assessments
  • Customer service reviews
  • Design and delivery of large corporate events on Matrix management
  • Process Improvement
  • Design and delivery of specialist training
  • Design of an employee engagement strategy with supporting tools
  • Leadership Development

Consultancy is Changing

 

The consultancy industry is changing and that is one reason we now focus on short-term assignments or temporary projects. We agree deliverables and methods for measuring projects, form a firm relationship with the internal client or consultant for the project, and make things happen. 

 

Increasingly we’ll see these changes using ‘interims’ permeate the consulting industry and this can already be seen within Public Sector organisations and quango’s.  As the credit crunch deepens we predict this will become the favoured route to manage the introduction of special projects with a reliance on trusted professionals.
