Interim Management
These days, businesses operate with very slim directorial / management teams. Individuals will have multiple responsibilities and large portfolios. This might leave little capacity to absorb special circumstances.
For many reasons, such as:
- illness,
- staff leaving,
- create a new function,
- turn-around an existing function,
- improving performance,
- extra-ordinary project,
- special expertise needed,
- the directorial / management team will benefit from a managed interim contribution.
Interim managers are experienced directors / managers who step into a role and take on the responsibilities. They focus their efforts on specific objectives and on achieving added value. The use of interim managers is a cost effective, efficient and convenient way to turn-around a situation and improve business performance. Interim Managers are often very experienced; they know exactly who they work for, and why. Yet, in spite of this level of experience, they are available at short notice and do not create an on-going liability for the business.
Experience and Expertise
Azteck's associates have enviable track records of contribution both in employed careers and now as independents. Working as an independent for 20 years, combined with a hunger for learning, leads to a powerful portfolio of experience and expertise. When an interim manager works with you, they bring a portfolio of expertise that a company is unlikely to achieve in conventional recruitment. This experience enables an intuition and cross fertilisation of ideas from past experience that delivers extra-ordinary benefit.
