Interim Management - UK Executive Manager

PHS Interim Management provides UK leadership with clear vision

Interim Management

Successful in managing UK gaps, projects and change

Today's senior executives continually strive to improve their organisations internal efficiency and competitive advantage. Driven by the global market and ever higher customer expectations; with the spotlight firmly on cost saving. Companies just can't afford an under-utilised executive. Just waiting to deal with that unexpected demand or special project, nor should they. Of course these do occur suddenly, increasing the work load and pressure on the individual or the team. To such an extent that it can seriously affect Company performance.

Our interim register provides the solution with senior executives and project managers successfully operating in the public, private and voluntary sectors. The roles can be quite diverse and include operations, finance, sales & marketing and manufacturing. Providing leadership with clear vision of the desired end; managing change and working with those within the organisation to achieve it.

Ensuring the manager is appropriate for the role and organisation is the key to assignment success. The first stage of this rapid but thorough process is to clearly understand your requirements. Need help quickly? Call Philip Smith on +44 (0)1565 653330

We are often asked "what is the difference between an Interim and a Management Consultant"; in truth very little, apart from crucially how they work and cost.
Attribute: Interim: Consultant:
Key strengths:
  • Hands on with full responsibility, recommends and implements based on practical experience
  • Has control over the budget
  • Personally delivers tried and tested solutions
  • Leads from the front
  • Report directly to the Company
  • Provides coaching and mentoring of existing staff
  • In place within days due to extensive talent bank
  • Provides valuable analysis and advice based on an in-depth subject understanding
  • Aware of the very latest techniques
  • Standardised approach
Potential weakness:
  • Success very dependent on individual's ability and experience - They may not have the breadth and depth of knowledge available to a large technical consultancy. Careful selection minimises this risk
  • Implementation is primarily the client's responsibility
  • Response and quality of service may be dictated by who is not currently engaged
Cost: Interims cost between £400 and £1,500 per day Consultants cost approximately 2 to 3 times

Appoint a confident executive who understands the critical situation. A sensibly overqualified professional with the specialist knowledge required. When the job is complete there will be a smooth hand over, with no termination costs. To ensure continued success a monitoring service is available.
