Picture a global food ingredients company with local recruitment teams working very differently across its worldwide footprint. The newly-appointed Head of People wants to create a consistent, united talent acquisition function that can flex to regional and local job markets – potentially by outsourcing to an RPO provider. No one within the organization has the international experience and perspective to lead on this project and handle the contracts side of outsourcing. An Interim is best suited to delivering this project – with a talent pool potentially available all over the world.
Bringing new perspectives on board
A healthcare organization is undertaking a phased cloud migration using a combination of in-house resources and external IT consultancies. However, the project is running over budget and is at risk from security weaknesses and repeated failures of critical services. The external IT consultancy recommend handing them more money to sort the issues they were partly responsible for. An Interim senior cloud specialist would be a far more effective and cost-efficient use of resources to tackle the project.

Imagine a fast-growing online retailer planning a much-needed re-brand and front-end website refresh. The company could build a project team solely from current leaders in marketing, data, IT and customer service. However, that would seriously impact their time and other duties. Additionally, they would still have to rely heavily on the services of external agencies and web companies to cover gaps in knowledge and capability. The smart alternative is to engage an Interim specialist with extensive digital branding experience to lead the project.

Having won a major account, a chemicals manufacturer is installing a new automated production line, planned to be ready six months before the first contracted shipment date. After a series of setbacks, accidents and breakdowns, the current go-live date is now projected to be only weeks before the shipment deadline. This is the situation for a tried-and-tested troubleshooter – a highly experienced Interim Director of Engineering to get the project back on track.
