Bottlenecks in line functions due to resignations or illness as well as a lack of know-how can be prevented by utilizing interim management. Interim managers provide more time to fill vacant positions in the long term, bring in external expertise and ensure transparent communication. All line functions can be affected, such as sales managers, marketing managers, purchasing managers, production or manufacturing managers, product managers, program managers or controllers.
Our approach
Situation
It is not only at management level that essential know-how can be lost in organizations. A vacancy at management level can threaten an organization’s existence just as much as a missing product manager, purchaser, etc. In such a case, the resulting gap must be filled qualitatively in a timely manner.
Target
The project target is to fill the vacant position in the line function optimally for the transition. In the long term, this should give the company the opportunity to clarify the issue of succession in peace and without time pressure. Subsequently, the vacancy can be filled internally or externally in the long term.
