Value For Money

Carel van Buchem, November 2022

Besides getting the job done, an Interim Manager brings an innovative boost to the company as a whole.

1. Interim managers show a return on investment almost from Day One
They are experienced, settle in fast, have a clear focus and move straight to their target in order to get the job done.

2. Interim managers are fast and flexible
If you want an interim manager today, they can start tomorrow. When the job is done, they leave. No redundancy costs.

3. Interim managers indeed get the job done
They tend to be significantly more focused than your permanent employees. Working with an interim manager enables you to select specific expertise and backgrounds upfront. As such, they often fill important gaps in skills and knowledge that would otherwise remain open, harming your business.

4. Interim managers are clearly value for money
Yes, interim managers come at a price. But interim managers are usually hired when teams have been failing for quite some time and eating up your results. They have the ability to immediately bring in a completely different dynamic. This increases the urgency level and action within the relevant team or company. And the organization is quickly brought up to speed.
Even regardless the effectiveness of an interim manager and the additional benefits he or she brings, the costs of an interim manager should be compared with total costs/benefits of permanent employees. From hiring to retiring. Clearly Interim managers are value for money.

5. Interim Managers bring new dynamics, innovations and a network in the team
By definition an interim manager brings new dynamics and innovations (by bringing the outside world in) at a level that permanent employees only might do when they start to work for the firm. This new dynamic, expertise and innovative drive that an interim manager brings provides a tangible boost to your entire team.

6. Interim Managers take care of Strategy and Implementation Simultaneously
It is a distinct advantage of an interim manager that he/ she can simultaneously bring in strategic direction and execute on this. Which prevents you from a costly disconnect between strategy and execution and reduces cost.
