Interim management is the short-term assignment of proven executives to manage transition, change, uncertainty or crisis, or to manage and exploit a new business opportunity. Interim executives take full responsibility from day one, usually reporting directly to the board. They are over-qualified for the job, with a strong proven track record.
Management consultancy is based on the provision of advice, usually to be implemented by the existing management team. Interim executives step into a line management role and are responsible for the implementation of their recommendations. They become part of the management team, and are expected to deliver results right from the start.
Over the past 10 years Wilkins Consultancy has provided interim managers in marketing and healthcare roles, on assignments ranging from one month to two years in duration. Click the logos below for details of some of our interim assignments.
