There are several factors that make the Interim Management offering increasingly popular and cost-effective to Client organisations. These factors are characterised as a ‘value proposition’ that Interim Managers offer to their Clients.
Although there is some variation at the margins of Interim Management (with Temporary workers, Freelancers, Contractors and Consultants, etc.) the following factors are typical of the Interim Management value proposition:-
Return on investment. Interim Managers add value by using their skills and expertise to help deliver an outcome, solution, service or mitigate risk that provides a meaningful ‘return on investment’ to a Client. Interim Managers are often paid on the understanding of goals and objectives being performed and delivered, and not purely on the basis of 'attendance'.
Speed. Interim Managers can be in place within days as opposed to weeks or months which is essential when time constraints are paramount. Being practiced in engaging promptly with the situation, they become effective quickly upon joining a Client organisation. Because of their experience and expertise, Interim Managers also conduct and complete assignments effectively and with due speed.
Expertise. Interim Managers typically operate at a senior level in the client organisation, often being sensibly over-qualified for the roles they take on. They often bring skills and knowledge not otherwise in place, to address a specific skills gap or problem. Their experience and expertise enables them to be productive and make a noticeable impact from the outset, maximising the likelihood of success.
Objectivity. Unencumbered by company politics or culture, Interim Managers provide a fresh perspective and are able to concentrate on what's best for the business. Being independent operators, they are able to contribute honestly without constituting a threat to the incumbent management team. Not being part of a larger business they are not pressured to unnecessarily extend their assignment.
Accountability. Rather than taking on a purely advisory role, Interim Managers are managers who will take responsibility for and manage a business or project in their own right. They expect to be held accountable for results and by being instrumental in an assignment’s successful delivery, They give clients the peace of mind that the Interim Manager has stewardship of the project in hand.
Effectiveness. Operating at or near board-level gives Interim Managers the authority and credibility to effect significant change or transition within a company. Unlike a basic ‘Temp’, they're not just there to ‘hold the fort’. They actively add value to the Client organisation as a result of their expertise and approach, even when the work and the decisions to be made are difficult.
Commitment. Interim Managers maintain high professional standards because their future work relies upon referrals and a successful track record. They therefore have a stake in the success of the assignments that they undertake. This contrasts favourably with other ‘temporary workers’ who may also be seeking ‘permanent employment’ or simply motivated by a day rate or extending their tenure. Interim assignments vary in scope and requirements, encompassing Change Management, ‘Gap’ Assignments, Project Management and Turnaround Management. The following stages (below) of the ‘Assignment Lifecycle’ are typical of how Interim Managers enter into an Assignment, reach and carry out the actual implementation, and finally exit the assignment.
The early stages have much in common with Consultancy, as do later stages with Project Management, but the accountability and responsibility that the Interim Manager has for successful analysis and delivery of a fitting solution, is what makes these stages uniquely typical of the Interim Management approach.
Entry. The prospective client and Interim make initial contact and explore the requirement sufficiently for the Client to be able to decide to engage the Interim Manager (or not) to address the situation. This is likely to involve a ‘preliminary’ assessment of what the Client thinks they want and the boundaries of the Interim Manager’s contribution. Typically this takes place over one or more initial meetings and results in the Interim Manager’s provisional engagement.
Diagnosis. The interim manager researches the current situation in order to understand it, how it came about, what are the requirements of the varying stakeholders. At this stage a more detailed understanding of ‘what the situation is’ is formed as well as approaches to address it. Differing issues or problems may come to light at this stage than initially highlighted by the Client. On a ‘Gap’ Assignment this diagnosis may run concurrently with the handling of immediate issues. Typically the diagnosis stage will take a few days.
Proposal. The Interim Manager presents a more detailed proposal which acts as the interim assignment objectives and plan. If this differs significantly from the preliminary plans determined at ‘entry’, the solution may involve different requirements from the Interim Manager or possibly the ending of the assignment. It is common that this ‘proposal’ may challenge the Client's understanding of the situation, on the basis of Interim Manager’s expertise. The interim manager takes the responsibility to propose a solution most likely to be effective, not automatically the one originally requested. In the case of a ‘Gap' Assignment such a proposal may simply outline how the Interim Manager will be a ‘safe pair of hands’.
Implementation. The Interim Manager takes responsibility for managing the intervention, project, or solution, tracking progress and conducting periodic feedback reviews with the Client. During this stage, interim managers particularly exemplify their expertise, accountability and effectiveness. Depending on the assignment, they get as close to the situation as is necessary, whilst remaining an independent practitioner. They may be managing teams, projects, dealing with crises or transformations or simply ‘holding the fort'. Their implementation is unencumbered by company politics or culture, focused on the task in hand.
Exit. The Interim Manager, approaching project end, ensures that objectives have been met, that the client is satisfied. This stage may involve ‘knowledge handover and training’, determining and sourcing ‘business as usual’ successors, and ‘sharing lessons learnt’ in the process. The Interim Manager is focused on the success of the Assignment and not simply the length of their own tenure, which means that this stage can be carried our professionally and objectively. Often this will be end of the Interim Manager/Client relationship. Sometimes Interim Managers may continue to give occasional ad-hoc Consultancy. Sometimes the Interim Manager will be re-engaged on a follow-on, or further assignment, starting the process ‘lifecycle’ again.

Here is my top 20 free or cheap ways of marketing a small business on a budget in these difficult economic times.
Small businesses rarely have much in the way of budget to spend on promotion, and over the years of servicing this market, I have found the following methods to be highly effective and if not free, certainly affordable to most if not all. These are in no particular order. Pick and choose as you see fit and tailor it to your business type, etc.
1. Networking around your Business’s locality.
Network the local Networking Groups (attending as a guest is usually free) and indeed the Pubs and Venues in the area your business operates in, ideally just after most businesses close and also at lunchtimes.
2. Networking at local sports events, music events or band gigs.
Network in the local football, rugby and cricket matches, and at golf or tennis clubs, etc. on Saturdays or Sundays, and music events. Perhaps sponsor a local band, sports team or special interest group and have them promote your business on their kit, gear, on banners, promotional materials, vehicles, premises, etc.
3. Networking at Health and Fitness Clubs.
Networking in the Health and Fitness clubs in the area, does not always mean having to join, so again this can be free.
4. Charitable work.
Helping Charities is a natural way of networking with people who often feel positive towards those who selflessly take time out and make an effort to help others, whom are less fortunate.
5. Donating Goods and Services to Charity, Schools and Community Projects.
Donating products, services or a solution that you produce that can be auctioned, or a donation made for the use of it, etc.
6. Providing Free Advice Clinics, having a Column in a local newspaper and Speaking at Events.
Giving free advice, speaking at or hosting free seminars with any charges donated to Charity, or providing free advice at Networking or Business events.
7. Free Newspaper, TV or Radio coverage.
Contributing to the features or content, submitting an article, or simply getting mentioned positively in the local newspaper, or featured on the local TV or radio for any good reason is excellent advertising.
8. Writing online articles or guides.
Writing and producing useful online articles or guides with tips related to your business or industry that can be published on the web and further publicised in the local or national press, magazines, radio or TV.
9. Vehicle Branding and Signwriting.
An excellent way of promoting your business is to advertise it directly on your vehicle, but keep it short and memorable, and include a short and memorable website address. In time you may progress to Buses, Taxis, etc.
10. Local Billboard or Hoarding.
This is actually more affordable that you might imagine, as you can often strike a good deal for under used space to get you started. Again, keep it memorable, short and sweet. in time you can increase your coverage and buy into better sites.
11. Illuminate your premises.
If you have an externally visible premises, illuminating it makes it eye-catching and if it is always on from dusk till dawn, people will be made aware of it, and maybe even use it as a reference point and landmark when giving directions.
12. Display the time and temperature outside.
Having a visable clock displaying the time, date, temperature etc, along with your business name on the front of your premises is very effective at making your business memorable and illuminating this is an effective addition.
13. Road signage.
Wherever possible and permitted by the Highways Authorities, have signs that give directions to your business.
14. Word of Mouth.
Word of Mouth is an extremely effective way of gaining business. Most people agree this is the best of all methods. If you introduce a special discount code that can be used for Word of Mouth referrals, you will then know that is the source of the business.
15, Referrals and Rewards
Operate a discount or reward scheme for any contacts that bring you new customers and ALWAYS pay any promised referral fees. If in doubt or there's two possible persons who are the source, pay both. The more people that recommend a particular business to someone, the more likely they are to use that business.
16, Facebook and Google+.
Set up a Facebook and Google+ accounts and set up pages about your business on them. Link to them on your website.
17, Twitter.
Set up a Twitter account and Tweet about your business with special offers, discounts, promotional offers, tips, useful information, etc. Publicise this on your website.
18, LinkedIn.
Set up a LinkedIn.com profile for yourself and a page for your business. You can link in your Website, Facebook and Twitter. Link to it on your website. LinkedIn is highly regarded as a professional business tool and can provide lots of new business.
19, Directories.
Enter your details on online Directories and offline directories, etc. this is usually free or low cost for enough of them to be quite effective. Most people use major Search Engines to find what they want, so make sure you are on there somehow.
20, Website.
If you don't already have one, build a smart website yourself about your business on something simple like MrSite.co.uk and keep it regularly updated with fresh content. Include links to your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. and put your web address on your business letterhead.
There are of course other effective methods, solutions and opportunities to promote your business, but these will apply to most folks and get you started and on the map.
The Golden Rule is make it as easy as possible for people to find you and do business with you.
People like to give small local businesses a try as long as they offer good value and are competitive.
Can I just add that one of the most important things you must do, is to treat all your customers as you would like to be treated as a customer yourself. If something goes wrong with a transaction, sort it out quickly and as you would want it resolved if it was you. The Customer is always right (in their opinion) and they will make sure other people see it that way.
In my experience nice people will always try to help other nice people in life. It is equally true that if people see someone they like unfairly wronged by a bad business, they will support them by warning others to stay away.
Following some interesting recent 'stand-in' requests, I am pleased to make myself available for Interim, Temporary, Contract, Part-Time or Full-Time roles and I am available for various shift or cover patterns including Bank Holiday and unsocial hours coverage.

I have enjoyed my time with Richard and the team, and wish them and the new incoming permanent Commercial Manager the best of luck for the future.

As a mortgaged, married, family man, some stability would be very welcome indeed.
