There are several situations in which a company or an organization can call on an interim manager:
Change of leadership: When a leader leaves the organization or the organization recruits a new leader, an interim manager can help manage the transition period and ensure that the organization continues to operate effectively.
Merger or Acquisition : When an organization merges or is acquired by another, a transition manager can help manage transition issues and ensure the integration goes smoothly.
Implementation of new strategies: If the organization wishes to implement new strategies or modernize its operations, an interim manager can help manage this period of change.
Crisis management : In crisis situations, such as a pandemic or scandal, an interim manager can help manage the situation and put plans in place to mitigate the effects of the crisis on the organization.
It is important to note that transition management is usually a temporary solution and the transition manager is expected to help.
