INTERIMCONNECT is the unique UK network to find skilled professional interim managers
We are often asked "What is the difference between an Interim Manager and a Management consultant?"
A Management Consultant is normally engaged because they:
- Provide valuable advice and analysis from an in-depth understanding of their specialised subject.
- Aware of the very latest innovations and techniques
- Normally using a standardised approach
- However they do NOT normally provide an implemented solution, leaving that to the company.
An Interim Manager on the other hand is engaged to:
- Part of the management team either as head of function or leading a specified project
- To take responsibility, recommend and implement appropriate solutions based on practical experience
- Importantly a proven resource to personally deliver tried and tested solutions
- Provides coaching and mentoring of existing staff
- Time is normally of the essence and Interim Managers can be In place within days due to existing "pool" of available interims.
Where there is a "grey area" where it is debatable whether a Management Consultant or an Interim Manager might be more suited for a project, cost may be the deciding factor.
Interim Managers on average are two to three times cheaper than Management Consultants.
For organisations looking to engage an experienced interim manager the network provides the fastest search, selection and engagement from over 1500 + members. Being a network we do not add an agency mark up to the interim's daily fee meaning that those savings can passed directly onto the hirer.
Instead network members pay for the administration of the Interimconnect service.
