DEMAND FOR INTERIM INCREASES IN THIRD SECTOR
September 2009
As the recession continues to put a constraint on budgets and funding for third sector organisations, the demand for high calibre, short-term expertise to plug staff and skills gaps or to manage a period of change, has increased. With this in mind, PrimeTimers has produced a dedicated guide to interim management within the third sector.
"In the past twelve months we have seen a 30% increase in requests for interim managers from third sector organisations" said Brent Thomas, Director of PrimeTimers. "This reflects a growing awareness that there are times when it is necessary to bring in specific skills to ensure consistency and an effective response to a challenging market."
Designed to answer the key questions that charities and not for profit organisations ask about employing an interim manager, the guide covers all aspects from identifying which problems can be solved by using an interm, to benefits and tips on how to manage and get the best out of this type of expertise.
As a successful social enterprise itself, PrimeTimers has been finding interim solutions since 2002, and has built a network of highly skilled executives with diverse backgrounds in the private, public and third sector, who have chosen a new career path as interims in the nfp sector.
