Interim managers are, in part, consultants but, significantly, take charge of implementing their own advice. They are senior executives and professionals brought in by organisations on short-term assignments to manage change, improve performance or to introduce new technical, financial, HR or IT initiatives. A new industry-wide survey has revealed that engineering and manufacturing companies are currently the main users of interim managers ― and demand is growing. Almost 20 per cent of all full-time interim assignments and another 18 per cent of part-time appointments are in engineering and manufacturing, compared with 12 per cent in the public sector and 10 per cent in banking/finance and insurance.
