Interim change leader for transformation

When your organization enters a new phase – think new systems, a fresh structure, or a new owner – every week of delay can really show up on your bottom line. An interim change leader, project manager, or PMO head will immediately take charge, set up clear governance, and push through the changes with tight control over time, costs, and quality. The consultant isn't just giving advice; they own the delivery and leave you with processes that keep working long after the project is done.

150+ successful interim assignments completed

Tailored process, transparent partnership, and an exclusive network of interim leaders

“I'm proud of our strong network of interim consultants – we respond quickly, accurately, and with clear pricing.”

Michael Gabrielsson, Partner

A secure and quick interim solution

Fast and Reliable Matching

Our needs analysis quickly pinpoints your goals, stakeholders, and key milestones. Then, we sift through our network of about 8,000 specialists and present three to four candidates within five business days. Every profile is pre-vetted for methodology expertise, industry experience, and references, so your interviews can focus purely on culture and personal fit.

Transparent 80/20 Model

No financial surprises here! You'll see the total daily fee, with 80% going straight to the consultant and 20% to us. There are no start-up fees, no index surcharges, and no success fees if you decide to offer permanent employment later. This makes budgeting simpler and builds trust right from the start.

Your personal partner, for long-term value

Your dedicated advisor will oversee the project from initial requirements right through to go-live. During the project, we'll keep an eye on KPIs, lend a hand when you need it, and make sure the knowledge sticks with your team – things like governance models, templates, and risk registers will stay in place. Once the project is finished, there's even an option to transition into a permanent role without a new recruitment process.

Why hire us?

When companies grow fast, leadership needs can change overnight. An interim manager is a flexible solution that ensures operations continue to run smoothly, no matter the challenges.

Tackle your challenges with an experienced change manager

Structured project and portfolio management

The change manager will set up a steering committee, define workstreams, and establish clear decision points. With a visual roadmap, risk matrix, and weekly reports, everyone from management to IT, HR, and external partners will have a clear view of the status. Any potential delays are spotted early, and actions are taken before the timeline gets derailed.

Fast risk reduction and regulatory compliance

We use methodologies like Prosci, ISO, GDPR, or ESG to help you identify gaps, prioritize actions, and assign responsibilities. Checklists for sign-offs, version-controlled governance documents, and test protocols help minimize arbitrary decisions and ensure you're compliant during audits.

Faster value realization

The project's business benefits are realized continuously, not just at the very end. Thanks to sprint-based deliveries, pilot groups, and 'train-the-trainer' approaches, users get to grips with the new features quickly. We track KPIs like time-to-benefit, adoption rate, and process time weekly to show the real impact.

The recruitment process

Our recruitment process is quick, smooth, and tailored to your needs. We make sure you get the right candidate fast, thanks to a clear requirement profile and efficient selection.

1. Assignment Description & Goals

We carefully listen to your expectations, goals, and current situation. A role description or job advertisement can be used as a basis, and we'll also conduct a structured interview with the client.

2. Candidate Search within Our Network

Around 20 suitable candidates are selected and contacted. We then conduct interviews with the relevant and available consultants we find, based on the assignment description.

3. Quality Assurance

The best 3-4 candidates are presented to the client within 1-3 days. We then have a check-in with the client to plan the selection and next steps.

4. Interview with Client – Background Check

The client conducts their interviews, any internal tests, and a final senior-level interview. References are taken if needed, and a background check can be performed on the final candidate.

5. Contract

An agreement outlining the length and scope of the assignment is drafted, always with transparent pricing so both the client and consultant know how the fee is distributed. We always pay 80% of the fee to the consultant. If the client is not satisfied, the contract can be terminated with a maximum of one month's notice.

6. Assignment Commences

During the assignment, we keep in regular contact with both the client and the consultant to catch any questions or feedback needed for a successful collaboration.

7. Wrap-up – potential employment

The assignment wraps up as per the agreement, or if the goal was employment and both parties are on board, it turns into a recruitment. The recruitment fee gets lower the longer the assignment has been going on.

What does it take to be a successful change manager?

Holistic analysis and methodological expertise

The consultant quickly grasps the current situation, cost and revenue drivers, technology, and culture. Work-breakdown structures, critical path analysis, and business case follow-ups provide a shared factual basis for decisions.

Communicative leadership and stakeholder management

Messages and situation updates are tailored for the board, management team, individual teams, and union representatives. Workshops, FAQ hubs, and open Q&A sessions build trust and reduce resistance.

Decisive leadership and adaptive action

Changes in the external environment or internal priorities are handled without losing time. Plans B and C are already outlined and triggered by clear criteria. This way, the project keeps its momentum even when conditions change.
