STARTING OUT IN INTERIM MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP

Many who are attracted to a career in Interim Management see it has the potential to offer a real challenge, excellent financial rewards, greater control, less involvment in 'politics', greater variety, an opportunity to focus on what they are really good at and a better work/life balance. However, Interim Management does not suit everyone. There are some very real potential downsides including uncertainty, risk, the need to market and sell yourself (for which many do not believe they have the skills or motivation), time away from home, isolation and a loss of corporate perks.

The decision on whether or not to go into interim management should not be taken lightly and should be based on a real understanding of the role, the market place, the value you could bring and your likelihood of success.

The 'Strating Out in Interim Management' workshop will not only help you decide if a career as an Interim Manager is right for you, but will also help you kick-start your career should you decide it is and dramatically reduce the time it takes to win your first assignment.

In the workshop we will cover the following topics. As we limit the numbers on the workshop, you will have plenty of opportunity to ask the questions and discuss the specific challenges you face.

• Your motivation - what you are looking for from your working life, what you would like to change about your existing situation, what are your goals. This section will help you determine what it is you are looking to create. Once you have clarity in these areas, you will have a benchmark against which you can measure a career in interim management.
• The Interim Management Market - Market statistics, how the market works and the role of interim managers and what being an interim manager is REALLY like - the pros and cons! This section will help you decide if interim management is right for you
• Your Interim Management Marketing Plan - There are four key elements to your marketing plan - your 'product(s)' (what you offer), your markets (where you are most likely to succeed), your routes to market (how you will create market awareness) and your differentiators (why clients should pick you). In this section you will not only learn how to develop each of these areas but you will begin the process of actually doing so for your own interim management business.
• Networking - a critical element of your marketing approach. Many feel uncomfortable with networking so in this section we discuss and practice the critical components of networking to build skills and confidence
• Setting up in Business - interim managers will need to operate through limited companies. In this section we will cover how to easily set up and run your own limited company
