One method of addressing short-term resource problems is to employ an Interim Manager.  These are Senior Managers and Executives who have made a career choice to work on short duration projects or on a part-time basis as they enjoy the challenge of new assignments.

Why employ an interim manager?

 

		They can provide a window of time while you assess your true requirements or carryout the recruitment process.  The interim manager may also be used effective as part of the recruitment team.
		The food & drink sector is forced to endure almost constant change.  When embarking on a major programme 'Interims' provide direction, experience, focus and the necessary resource.  Companies often use interims as the agents of change.  Alternatively interims can be used to backfill permanent staff who are seconded to programmes.
		There is a continuous movement of personnel in the sector.  Often individuals are key to the success of a product or line.  Interim Management is tailor made to suit emergency situations where a gap in the team may arise without warning.  Interim Management allows the continuation of steady state operations during the difficult time.
		The industry is one of the most innovative sectors in all aspects from product creation (NPD) through to packaging and supply.  When new skill requirements are identified to take a company forward an Interim provides a ready solution.  This flexible approach can rapidly help a company adopt new directions and ways of working.
		The pace of change across the industry requires a company to constantly manage a large project portfolio.  An Interim manager works as a member of the management team without conflicting priorities.  Therefore, the Interim is fully committed and in-house managers can continue to manage the day to day activities.
		Few companies in the sector stagnate, however, Interim managers can be used to provide a fresh perspective to an established business.  This might include: revisiting the basics the introduction of new technology new ways of working a raising of commercial awareness
