Interim Management

At paul und collegen, interim management means temporarily guiding a firm. We take on C-level management of companies, including at board level, where required. We are acutely aware of the limited amount of time we have on the clock. Once our work is done, our client needs to have a lasting solution, generally in the form of a successor.

As the CRO (Chief Restructuring Officer), we join company management in navigating periods of crisis and upheaval. We pursue the principle of ‘help others help themselves'. In other words, when we’re done, companies should be able to resume normal operations once again without requiring our support.

Leadership also means making decisions that may go well above your own role at a company that nevertheless are a good fit.

C-managers influence the culture of the company in question and bear responsibility in this regard. If things can no longer carry on as before, changing the corporate culture is one of the key success factors as part of the overall change process.

Experience has shown that interim management is never merely a stand-in role, but always involves projects that need to yield results and have a long-term impact for the future.
