More than capacity
An interim leader does not simply fill an empty chair. Value is created when decision-making, continuity and professionalisation are organised together.
A clear mandate
Define authority, priorities, stakeholders and the desired end state. Without that framework, temporary support can become permanent issue management.
Handover from day one
A strong interim assignment builds transferability, ownership and a sustainable permanent situation from the start.
