What are Interim Executive Services anyway?


About Interim Executive Services

Interim EXECUTIVE SERVICES is temporary consulting service provided in or to the executive suite of an organization.  Executive Services is differentiated from other interim services based on the reporting relationship of the Interim Executive.  If the Interim Executive is reporting to the Board of Directors or CEO, they are engaged in Executive Services as opposed to other interims or temps that are working at lower levels in the organization.  The differentiating factor about Executive Services is that the work is more strategic and cognitive in focus as opposed to task orientated, supervised activities carried out by most of the interims an organization will typically engage.  There is a lot more at risk with an Interim Executive providing Executive Services.  Typically, billing rates are higher and the potential of the Interim Executive to have a profound effect on the organization is much higher.  An organization engaging Executive Services has the right to expect a lot more from an sophisticated Executive Services Interim than they would from someone picked to just fill a slot temporarily.
