Interim Management

Interim management has emerged to become a leading alternative way to hire a manager with a particular type of expertise to work within your organisation for a limited amount of time.

Akonia provides high quality interim management expertise, particularly for training or education departments and projects.

Training Services

Interim management is most relevant when you have a short-term need for a particular type of expertise, in our case to lead and manage a training or education department or project:

• during a period of organisational change or transition
• while opening up a new market
• when acquiring and integrating a new subsidiary company
• to manage a one-off training project
• to fill a gap between a training manager's departure and recruiting a replacement

 As Interim managers we are contracted by you to you, and will always be working to achieve your business objectives.  Our priorities are your priorities.

Important Benefits

There are many important benefits to be gained from using an Interim manager:

• Higher expertise that is cost effective.
• A closer relationship with you and better integration into your organisation.
• Providing better follow-through.
• Accepting greater responsibility and ownership.

Interim Management offers higher expertise that is cost effective.

We have over 22 years experience in the IT, DotCom, Retail and Public Service sectors working for multi-national corporations, and more than 12 years building, developing and managing UK and EMEA training organisations generating multi-million £ revenue.

This is significantly more expertise and experience than you would expect of a permanent manager, and is cost effective because you won’t be paying bonuses, employer’s National Insurance contributions on earnings and benefits, pension contributions, car allowance, health and other benefits.  

Interim Management brings a closer relationship with you and better integration into your organisation.

As interim managers we become an integral member of your organisation - a part of the organisation chart. We will fulfil all the normal duties that you would expect such as business development and delivery, conducting appraisals, project planning and control, producing regular reports, etc. 

Interim Management provides better follow-through.

We don't just produce reports and advise on the course of action to be taken; We act proactively and 'do it', implementing recommended changes that are needed and agreed. 

Interim Management accepts more ownership.

We take responsibility for assessing, recommending and implementing changes and will face the consequences of those actions; We have a much greater degree of ownership of the project and its success.  Our reputation and yours depends upon it.
