Interim Management

An experienced leader and manager, Dean also works within organisations and projects as an interim manager and executive. Becoming part of the leadership team not only provides your organisation with advice and expertise, it also provides the resource to do the doing.

Direct day to day involvement means that it is easier to fine tune and respond immediately to changing situations all too common in modern organisations. Working this way also produces strong knowledge transfer. Finally it is possible to work with a more open brief this way as there is increased opportunity to assess and refine the way forward in real time.

Consultancy

With expertise and resource already within the organisation, then consultancy may be the answer, providing advice and guidance, or even producing specific products, such as document templates and procedures. As well as delivering solutions, the aim here is also to ensure knowledge transfer in order that your organisation develops and moves forward, better able to respond to and to control its future. Consultancy can also include hands on project management.

Working as a consultant often enables a more open, external perspective to be presented, giving new dimensions to a situation and alternative solutions. In this case you buy the amount of expertise and level of input you require for a specific assignment.
