The interim industry is taking off and growing fast

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
