Interim Managers – Community home page

There are many angles to being a successful and established interim manager or executive. The Institute of Interim Management (IIM) aims to support you to shape and polish yourself as a professional, in terms of your core offering to customers and also in those skills and competences which enable you to deliver sustainable outcomes for customers. Your value proposition will be enhanced by making the best use of the wide range of support and knowledge facilities on offer.

Becoming an interim manager

• Whilst some managers in tough times have seen interim management as a ‘port in a storm’, it is a genuine and fascinating career choice.  The decision to become a professional Interim Manager should be taken only after researching the following:
• The market you work in
• The lifestyle and how it could work for you
• Your skills, competences and entry level (Where you fit)
• How to setup and run a small business
• What channels to market you can exploit
• How you would approach and work with customers

The IIM Seminar Exploring Interim Management is an invaluable day which takes you through these six key steps and prepares you for making the right decision. It also provides you with the information and connections to get started quickly and effectively.  Seminars are held regularly across the UK.  

•  The IIM is pleased to help those who have made such a choice to establish an interim business on their own account to do so professionally and competently, through the use of the IIM Knowledge and CPD centre and where applicable IIM training.

About interim management

• The IIM leads the debate about what interim management is through its widely distributed guides and leading LinkedIn group and industry definitions:
• “Interim management is the provision of effective business solutions by an independent, board or near-board level manager, over a finite time span. Such complex solutions may include change, transformation and turnaround management, business improvement, crisis management and strategy development. Interim managers are often experienced in multiple sectors and disciplines.”
• The IIM publishes a range of information about interim management in the ‘community’ sections and within the Knowledge and CPD centre.
