On-Demand Leadership in an
On-Demand World:

When interim management makes sense
for clients and consultants

Interim management is misunderstood in the U.S. by most business executives and consultants. The interim model is commonly associated with temporary talent for accounting or for corporate turnaround situations. These applications only represent a small percentage of the real potential for on-demand leadership, particularly in sales, marketing, and operations.

Besondy will discuss the outlook for the interim management profession.

• The underlying issues and trends that are driving interim management’s growth.

• When is interim leadership the right choice for clients?

• When is interim leadership the right career choice for a consultant?

• How effective can an interim leader be anyway: some case studies.

• Justifying the cost of an interim executive.

Becoming an interim executive: the brave, the proud, the few.
