Interim Manager Management Consultant
An interim manager is hired as an independent person on the basis of his or her personal abilities and reputation.
A consultant generally works through an agency and is hired on the basis of the agency’s merits more so than his or her own reputation.
An interim manager will always try to cut costs and improve company effectiveness to achieve organizational goals as quickly as possible. This will assist in building his or her reputation.
A consultant may try to push additional services or “stretch out” the service to increase his or her own revenue or that of the agency.
An interim manager does not only advise on the situation, he or she also implements measures to solve the problem.
A consultant does advise on a situation, but will not implement his or her own advice.
An interim manager reports directly to you, the employer, and not through a third party agency, so you are well informed and there is no conflict of interest.
A consultant reports back to his or her agency, who then reports to you, costing valuable time and other resources.
An interim manager works with your own team, provided by your company as you see fit.
A consultant works with the people he or she chooses and brings them into your company instead of adapting to work with the people you already have.
Interim Managers are usually specialists in their particular fields. Their experience is vast and relates to the particular field that you hire them for.
Consultants generally do not specialize in one area, but are a “jack of all trades” in business.
