Interim Management

 Interim Management complements our consultancy offering. EJT Management Consultants Limited interim management service provides high calibre procurement and supply chain managers to clients in a wide range of industries.

Whereas a consultancy project is more likely to be clearly defined and to determine a strategy or plan, the interim manager is better placed to implement it, working within the clients’ team for a period of time. Working in-house, the interim manager is an integral part of the team, aligned only to the clients’ objectives and without the restraint of politics or long term positioning. They are adept at delivering quickly and from a standing start.

Our managers are ideally suited to implementing business or process change and providing additional specialist resource for a specific project. They are also suited to provide cover for absence or additional resource at a time of peak activity.

Our interim managers can be in a client's business within days of an enquiry and bring with them a lot of objectivity and no political baggage. This approach can be particularly valuable when there's a need to bring in some additional resource to address a high profile / value / risk category of expenditure, particularly if the existing team is fully utilised.In short, interim managers and staff can be used to manage any process of growth or change in the life of a company that needs specialist skills and experience.

Our interim managers aren't looking for permanent roles - so they're non- threatening and are visibly expert practitioners who quickly take the ownership, implement the solution and deliver the results to the client.

Not only do our interim managers bring with them the most up to date purchasing and supply chain intellectual property, they also bring a formal approach to change management and are highly focused on deadlines and deliverables.

Sensibly over-qualified for the job in hand, our interim managers can be in place and working effectively within one or two weeks from our client’s initial request.

Interim managers often prove to be the most cost effective way of;

• Filling unexpected vacancies
• Managing short term category management and supply chain projects
• Carrying out market research
• Negotiating new contracts
• Managing and improving existing purchasing and supply chain contracts.

Fees for the supply of interim managers are paid daily, with the daily rate dependent upon the seniority of the interim manager required, the likely duration of the assignment and the nature of the assignment itself.

We provide long term and short term interim managers and projects can be as little as a few weeks or 12 months in duration with a variable number of working days per week.

The use of our interim managers is always tailored to meet our clients own individual needs and we will always help our clients to avoid unnecessary costs and long term overheads.

The challenge of good interim management provision is to deliver the individual with the required skills and experience within a short time frame.

Our knowledge of the purchasing and supply chain market enables us to fully understand our clients’ requirement and advise them on it, both in terms of the specification for the role and who would be best suited to it. Our comprehensive network of candidates and contacts in the industry means we are able to provide you with the right candidate quickly and efficiently.

We are committed to bringing in the skills you need for a defined period to complete specific tasks or projects.
