In the second of our interview series, The Expert Game Changers, Nick Diprose asked Ben Freeman what makes a great interim?

In the first of our new interview series, The Expert Game Changers, Nick Diprose talks to experienced interim executive, Tony Martin.

Interims provide businesses with insightful, real-time, agile and proactive change expertise. Don’t ask “What did you do last week?”. It’s already being done.

Interim executives assume a critical leadership role in the acceleration of change in organisations. What are the three main reasons for hiring one?

A properly profiled interim will have worked in multiple businesses and industries meaning they bring with them unmatched and applied learning.

You can’t imitate the extraordinary value interims bring to businesses unless you’ve had a career’s worth of change leadership experience.

Being clear about your experience and the benefit of hiring you will get you noticed by agents like me, and by prospective clients.
