Consultants and Interim Managers both have an important role to play. But they are not the same thing.
A consultant is often brought in to provide expertise, analyse a problem, make recommendations and help management decide what to do.
An Interim Manager is brought in to take action.
They step into the organisation to fill gaps, to take responsibility, work with the existing team, make decisions, fix problems, manage people and projects, and keep things moving.
Sometimes an organisation needs advice.
Sometimes it needs someone who can roll up their sleeves and get the job done.
That is where an experienced Interim Manager can make a real difference. Particularly when there is a management gap, a critical project that has stalled, operational problems that need fixing, or simply too much work and not enough experienced management capacity.
Advice has value. But sometimes what a business really needs is someone to take responsibility and make things happen.

Recruiting the right permanent employee can take weeks — sometimes months.
But the work still needs to be done.
Projects continue. Customers still need attention. Staff still need leadership. Decisions still need to be made.

An experienced interim manager can step in quickly to:
• Keep the function operating effectively
• Provide leadership and stability for the team
• Take responsibility for critical projects or issues
• Bring specialist skills and experience when they're needed
• Identify and address problems that shouldn't wait for a permanent appointment
• Provide continuity while you recruit the right person — rather than simply the person who is available
And there is another important benefit.

Engage someone for a few weeks or several months, establish what needs to be done, and hand over to the permanent employee when they are ready to take over.
At Escape Velocity for Business, we provide experienced interim management support for organisations that need capable leadership now, not three months from now.
If you have a management vacancy, a major project, a business problem that needs attention, or simply need additional leadership capacity for a limited period, an interim manager could be the solution.
