Parkinson's law says that work expands to fit the time available. But as a senior manager, you're more likely to be familiar with another apparently contradictory law of business: There is always more work than you have staff to deal with. Or its corollary: Whenever you're about to get on top of things, something will happen to make sure you don't.

Often that 'something' comes in the form of a sudden departure or a new challenge that the business has to face... Now! Do you pull one of your managers away from another key task? Do you recruit someone new? Do you promote someone early? Adelaide Interim offers you an alternative.

Need to fill a short-term gap?

Our Interim Managers are highly experienced and ready to hit the ground running. Whether it be for two weeks or six months, you can rely on Adelaide Interim to provide a highly experienced manager whose focus is exclusively on delivering value to your organisation - they are apolitical, independent and focussed on getting the job done.

Need to recruit someone?

The enemy of a successful recruitment process is haste - there is a risk that you hire the wrong person or even that you don't have time to properly consider how a new role will fit into your organisation. Either way, Adelaide Interim can buy you the time you need.  An Adelaide Interim manager can fill the role temporarily while you take the time you need to recruit the right person. If necessary, we can help you properly define a new role before the recruitment process begins, we can help you run the recruitment process and we can coach and mentor the new recruit to make sure they too hit the ground running..

Thinking of promoting someone?

How often do you get the opportunity to promote someone as part of an orderly, structured, development process? Too often, people are thrown in the deep-end with inadequate preparation and support. Some may well rise to the challenge but its hardly a reliable method - and if the person sinks,  the cost to the business and the person can be enormous. It is far better to set the newly appointed manager up for success by providing them with appropriate support. Adelaide Interim can provide that support - it may be in the form of coaching and mentoring in the background, or it could be working alongside the newly appointed manager while they come up to speed, allowing them to draw on Adelaide Interim's skills, experience, contacts and resources.

Do you just need some sage advice? 

While a new problem may challenge the skills and experience of the resources you have, simply adding more resources is not always the right answer. Adelaide Interim can help you review the 'bigger picture' to identify alternative solutions or can simply provide mentoring and coaching support for you or some of your managers.
