Interim

There is an increasing demand for interim managers with private sector background and a track record, or those who can identify new commercial income streams and experts who can advise them through change as they re-position themselves.  It can be a challenging task to find a passionately high calibre expert to fill a former management's shoes swiftly.  Not-for-profits have also realised they have to keep the chief executives role filled until a replacement is found.  There can be a five month gap between a chief executive leaving and having a successor in place.  But relying on another senior director stepping up into the post temporarily is a no-no.  Cutback in public spending and major donation, hypes reluctance in considering a senior at the top.  So the solution is to bridge the gap with an interim.
