What is interim management?

Definition from Institute of Interim Management: Interim Management is the use of senior, professional directors and managers on a fee and fixed term basis to achieve a high impact on specific roles or objectives. Interims are skilled professionals operating at a high level, sensibly over-qualified for the assignment, and able to bring a breadth of experience and skills to facilitate prompt results. They are typically used at short notice for short and medium term high impact roles, and can incorporate the roles of consultancy and project management, planning and implementing change, so ensuring seamless delivery and full accountability.

Interims operate on a freelance basis, and are either self-employed or work through their own limited companies. Interims are not temporary employees, but are professionals in business on their own account, with the risks and rewards that that implies. They are responsible for their own arrangements for holiday, pension, health insurance etc, and will normally carry professional indemnity insurance.
