But does interim management work?

One of the advantages of interims is that you have a‘heavyweight, hands-on’manager on site. you get thebenefit of an outsider with a lotof experience, at a cost which isroughly half that of a management consultant

“ “I. McKinnon, Former CEO, LuxferGroup (a £200m MBO from Alcan)

We needed considerably morethan a stopgap solution. We therefore chose a heavyweight interim withFTSE 100 experience. We havesince used interim executiveson further occasions

“ “P. Hird, former Personnel

Director, ITV plc

BIE provided a first rate individual to manage a criticalcomponent of our people strategy and the results weresuperb - a substantial ROIand enhanced organisation capacity

“ “L. Jack, TK Maxx
