The interim industry is taking off and growing fast

Increased pool of qualified interim managers that has
this as a profession
“In Turnaround situations Interim Management is much better
than a permanent CEO”
“Interim Management creates results directly. It is a
combination of Management Consulting & Executive Search
together and you get the experienced manager directly!”
“There is a general trend that companies do not need
permanent employees. We have seen it at the lower levels,
now we see it at the senior level”
“We have to be faster in changing our management if
we do not see performance improvements coming”
“In a difficult situation you do not have time to wait for an
Executive Search process”
“I see a trend of getting back to what management consulting
was in the early days. Senior people with experience fixing
problems. I am actually tired of classic American consulting
which is now a commodity”
The industry growths 10-15% per year
driven by strong underlying trends
Companies that have used it, highly appreciate
and see it as the best of two worlds
