Interim Management
Line Management – We can provide the temporary placement of experienced personnel, within business organisations, to meet Line Management responsibility. Tasks are generally predetermined and limited to a fixed time. The objective is to support company management in the performance of regular business functions, by making their time available for duties of a higher priority. Some examples of a company’s requirements could include projects such as process reengineering, change of organisational structure, liaison & contract management, acquisition processes etc. Generally, these processes tie up valuable management resources. Areas requiring a high level of competence are controlling Information Management and Technology Management, Project Management / Support and the developing of project processes and structure. Temporary Personnel can act as the liaison or catalyst between users, senior management and external contractors. They can prevent and counteract any possible areas of tension; helping to keep all lines of communication open. Further, they can provide advice management for team building and support negotiations between suppliers providers or contractors.
