areas of application

Companies used to rely on interim managers when there was an acute problem in a company and special additional expertise was required to solve it.

In the meantime, however, interim management is used in a wide variety of cases. This can be to bridge a short-term staff gap or even in rare cases when ownership is transferred. They are also being employed more and more frequently in project management, as well as when there is a lack of capacity in a company, as an alternative to management consulting or in the event of restructuring.


In medium-sized companies, the use of interim management is also a good way to obtain external specialist knowledge and to establish it in the company in the long term.

advantages

Interim management was also developed to make the labor market more flexible - it allows competent workers to be hired at short notice without great administrative effort. It can also be helpful to get an unbiased, outsider's opinion that isn't shaped by working at the facility.

Interim managers are not beginners, they have experience as managers and bring with them a wide range of specialist knowledge. This offers companies the opportunity to build up additional business areas or to optimize structures and processes within the company.


In projects, interim managers help with their experience and an "outside" view. This can bring fresh approaches and additional skills to your team.

respect limits

The success of an interim manager depends on internal support!

The responsible management level should definitely be behind the operation sstand Otherwise, there may be difficulties in the legwork of the most important employees.

If it is not the subject of the mission, the reliability and completeness of the numerical data is essential.

An interim manager has no knowledge of internal information and communication structures and therefore no knowledge of the cliques and junctims within the company


A blocking attitude of the works council as well as a potential lack of support from the shareholder level should be actively ruled out in advance.

Interim manager for digitization projects

Wolfram Läpple, Managing Director of smartnumbers

Digitization is often initially associated with Industry 4.0. It is about the digitization of industrial production, which is to be automated and networked with modern information and communication technology. However, digitization is also finding its way into all other areas of a company. Large amounts of data need to be collected and analyzed. The resulting statements are evaluated and the best possible conclusions are drawn for your company. In the financial sector in particular, controlling is often neglected during digitization, whereby the data already available in the company can be enriched in such a way that everyone affected can work more successfully with it. An interim project is particularly suitable for this "start" in medium-sized companies. Following this, a transition to a reduced, fixed-time exchange is a good idea.
