Interim Management

What is Interim Management?

Interim Management is the provision of senior or mid-level leadership to a company in times when either support is needed immediately to fill intentional or unexpected gaps in a management team, or when certain one-off skills are needed (radical restructuring, performance improvement or speed in completing high priority projects) for a short- to medium-term engagement. Interim management can also be used in situations where it would be difficult to find qualified staff, either prior to a divestiture or for the launch of a high-risk new venture. The engagements we tend to work on require that we fill CEO, COO or CRO (Chief Restructuring Officer) roles. We ensure a smooth transition to permanent management once the restructuring goals have been reached.

Kolaja & Partners Interim Management
for Restructuring and Performance Improvement

Our clients come to us when they need support in rapidly implementing change in their businesses. Kolaja & Partners specializes in defining restructuring and performance improvement programs and then implementing these changes with our clients through the use of interim managers. We do this by placing highly experienced senior and mid-level mangers into our clients' businesses for projects that last as long as it takes for our clients' goals to be achieved, which may be from a few weeks to two to three years.

How our Interim Management teams work

Our philosophy is to use a team approach, combining experienced interim executives with teams of managers or professional analysts, who jointly define and implement company-wide change programs. This team approach, coupled with our proprietary change methodologies, ensures greater effectiveness and speed of implementation. It also ensures that our clients can comfortably retain Kolaja & Partners as an institution having full access to all of the knowledge, expertise and resources that our organization possesses. 

This organizational strength is particularly comforting since our clients may be facing radical changes for the first time, or their area of specialization may be in the investment arena, rather than restructuring. For Kolaja & Partners, restructuring and performance improvement is what our organization focuses on every day of the week. We are well-equipped to deal with the tension, organizational disorder and pain that frequently occurs during a change program. We know what steps to take to lead these projects to successful completion, and have a wealth of resources available to ensure this happens.
