What are interim management services?

One of the human resource needs of any local government organization is the recruiting of qualified candidates for vacant positions and retaining a qualified workforce. The sudden and abrupt departure of a key staff member is rarely planned. When that departure happens, many organizations ask what is next or what about that special project in progress?

SGR’s interim management services provide qualified interim personnel to help mitigate the anxiety of losing a key staff member, providing additional time to think through the need and recruitment process.

In terms of project management, clients may have stagnant project(s) needing additional manpower to get that project(s) over the finish line.

In terms of succession planning, identifying a successor is only half the battle. Once an individual is identified, the necessary time to prepare for their new role can take as long as two to three years. In these cases, SGR can provide an interim professional to shadow the individual and offer an unbiased assessment of his/her skill sets. The interim professional will then create a coaching plan to mentor the individual in their new role.
