The success of an Executive Interim Manager depends on several key factors First, adaptability is crucial - being able to quickly understand an organization's culture, challenges, and goals allows for faster impact. Second, clear communication is essential to align teams and stakeholders around the vision and necessary changes. Finally, objective decision-making enables interim managers to implement solutions without the weight of internal politics, driving results swiftly and efficiently. A successful interim leader combines these traits to deliver value and stability during critical transitions. A CEO should consider engaging an Interim Manager in several key situations: During Leadership Gaps: If a senior executive departs unexpectedly, an interim manager can provide immediate leadership while the search for a permanent replacement takes place, ensuring continuity. Navigating a Crisis: When an organization faces a financial or operational crisis, interim managers bring specialized expertise to stabilize the situation, offering unbiased perspectives and solutions. Managing Organizational Change: In times of restructuring, mergers, or significant shifts in strategy, an interim manager can guide the transition and implement changes without the constraints of long-term commitment. Driving Specialized Projects: If the organization needs expertise for a specific initiative (e.g., digital transformation or market expansion), an interim manager with the right skills can execute efficiently and move the project forward.   #interimmanagement #executiveinterimmanagement #transitionmanagement #bestadvice

Is the cost of an Executive Interim Manager really higher than that of a permanent employee for driving complex transformations? There is often a hesitancy to engage an Interim Manager to drive large change programmes. Some are still hesitant of using an outsider for business-critical transformations, questioning whether they are truly invested in the organization and its success. Also, there is concern about the cost of an Interim Manager’s day rate compared to the costs of a permanent employee. But is the cost really higher? Not if you consider that a permanent employee is not only paid a salary, but also pension, insurances, paid holiday, and other benefits. It is also very expensive with failed recruitments as both the recruitment- and exit process are very expensive. Hiring an Interim Project Manager mostly results in lower costs for the company in overheads. Also, the costs of a failed project or programme will far exceed those of either a permanent employee or an Executive Interim Manager. With an interim Executive Program Manager, the company gets access to an experienced leader who has done similar tasks many times before, competencies that are often lacking internally. Furthermore, a professional interim Project Manager ensures that the projects are completed on time and budget, securing a successful transformation. Upon closer comparison of all the advantages, the costs for an Interim Manager are actually quite reasonable. #interimmanagement #pmo #projectmanagement    

Executive Interim Management in Europe - The International Network of Interim Manager Associations INIMA annual survey In 2023, European Interim Managers remained highly active, continuing the previous year's trend with consistently high utilization rates (+69%) and an increase in average daily rates (+50€/999€). Providers across Europe reported a shortage of available Interim Managers. Despite the busy market, a survey predicted a downturn in business conditions for 2024. The top five strategies identified to counter this trend are: - Project Acquisition and Marketing: Strengthening mandate acquisition and marketing efforts to boost visibility and generate more mandates. - Digitalization and AI Application: Enhancing skills in digital tools, AI, big data, and technologies like ChatGPT to streamline processes. - Work-Life Balance: Focusing on workload management, health, and stress management to maintain a healthy balance for Executive Interim Managers. - Crisis & Risk Management: Addressing economic volatility, managing risks, and tackling supply chain challenges with effective crisis management. - Professional Development and Networking: Committing to continuous learning, expanding networks, and staying current with trends in AI and digitalization.

Welcome Korea!

Welcome to the Valtus Alliance family.

Thanks Josh for the very handy summary and yes it was a stimulating The Mandarin conference, sharing experiences with so many keen and dedicated public servants and a talent and committed group of speakers. Thanks to all involved for the time and thoughts.

This second instalment of 11 Valtus Alliance countries continues to showcase our global network’s remarkable – and sometimes surprising – performance at the Summer Olympics. 𝐉𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐍 At the 1936 Games, pole vaulters and friends Shuhei Nishida and Sueo Oe were told to compete against each other for silver and bronze. They refused, wanting to share the honours. The Japanese team was forced to choose, awarding silver to Nishida. Returning to Japan, the pair cut and fused their prizes into two hybrid medals – the “Medals of Friendship”. 𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐒 Could a Dutchman take home the first Olympic gold in breaking, which debuts this year at the Paris Games? ‘B-Boy’ Menno van Gorp has won almost every major solo title there is – watch this space! 𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐖𝐀𝐘 Dubbed the “Norwegian Train”, Kristian Blummenfelt is the fastest Ironman ever and the only triathlete to have held the Olympic, World Triathlon and Ironman world titles at the same time. 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐔𝐆𝐀𝐋 Bouncing back to get on track: Carlos Lopes won Portugal's first Olympic gold in the marathon at the 1984 Games, despite being hit by a car 15 days prior. 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐂 𝐎𝐅 𝐊𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐀 A sharp eye: Korean archer Kim Soo-Nyung has won 6 Olympic medals since she was just 17, including 4 golds, making her one of the sport’s most decorated athletes. 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐀𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐄 Swimmer Joseph Schooling became Singapore’s first-ever gold medallist in 2016 in the 100m butterfly, defeating Michael Phelps 8 years after meeting his Olympic hero at just 13. 𝐒𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐀 A country of canoeists: Race walker Matej Tóth and trap shooter Zuzana Rehák Štefečeková are the only athletes from independent Slovakia to win gold on land rather than water at the Summer Olympics. 𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐍 Barcelona’s hosting of the 1992 Games is a case study of home advantage: with 26 medals (5 gold) prior to the event, the nation won 22 medals (13 gold) in 1992 alone. 𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐍 No horsing around: due to strict Australian quarantine regulations, the equestrian events at the 1956 Games in Melbourne were held in Stockholm 5 months earlier. 𝐔𝐊 Age is but a number: skateboarder Sky Brown became Britain’s youngest Olympic medallist of all time when she took bronze in Tokyo at 13 years old. 𝐔𝐒𝐀 22-year-old Margaret Abbott was studying art in Paris in 1900 when she saw an ad for a golf tournament. She entered and won, not realising she had just become the first American woman to win an Olympic event. The Olympic Games gather nations and passions – much like the Valtus Alliance, where likeminded partners form a global community based on trust and fulfilment in everything we do. Best of luck to all our partner countries and their remarkable athletes. What an honour to have the 2024 Games right on our doorstep!
