SUCCEED IN INTERIM MANAGEMENT - FAST TRACK NEW CAREER

One Day Workshop for
All Executives and Senior Managers

This was an extremely valuable experience. Meeting other people in a similar situation - and other interims - was a real benefit and gaining a deep insight into the Industry and how best to target and market my skills for this market were vitally important tools. I initially thought that I could not afford the day, but it was money so very well spent. Fantastic! Thank you.

Aimed at Executives and Senior Managers:

This unique workshop provides Executives and Managers looking at Interim Management with the vital information they need to succeed in this career. It goes much further than simply presenting facts about the market place (which is where most other workshops stop).

It helps delegates understand the intricacies of the different players in the industry, and provides delegates with essential tips and proven techniques to make an informed decision about their career and a fast and successful start in Interim Management. Delegates also have every opportunity to have their questions and concerns answered by two, fully-trained and highly experienced Interim Managers, who have facilitated over 100 of these workshops.

If you want to find out if Interim Management is for you and / or how to succeed quickly and avoid many costly and time consuming mistakes, this workshop is for you.

Note: You do not need to be a member of the IMA Institute to attend, although there are subsequent membership discounts available to workshop delegates.

Marketing yourself successfully.

Fast-track your new career by learning proven techniques and tools of how to market yourself in this complex industry; how to build your value proposition(s) for clients and for providers (specific executive recruitment agencies); how to write a CV and business letters for this market that will get you noticed and called for meetings; how to understand and exploit routes to market, and how to look for new work whilst still on an assignment.

Note: Whilst aimed primarily at Interim Management, many of these marketing skills and tools are also directly applicable when seeking permanent employment and will be invaluable even to those who subsequently decide to pursue full-time positions.

^ top

Understand the interim market fully.

Obtain the FACTS about the Interim Management market, objectively and without bias; the rates of pay, types of assignments, jobs in vogue, the skills and knowledge required and sought by clients, the role of providers, important differences between interim management, consultancy and contracting, how to marshal and utilise your own network, plus understanding core competencies essential for successful Interim Managers.

^ top

Learn the secrets of operating productively.

Examine the skills and techniques required to succeed in this industry. You may already be a successful (permanent employment) manager, but the speed and approach needed to interim management roles is almost certainly different to anything you may have previously experienced. Learn the art and necessity of how to diagnose underlying issues rapidly on entry into a new assignment, how to (re) negotiate your terms of reference, how to harness support, sometimes in hostile environments, and how to win assignments at those initial business meetings in the first place.

Priority provider access.

As a course participant, and as a subsequent member of the IMA Institute, you gain priority access to the leading recruitment specialists in this industry. Provider members of the Interim Management Association (IMA), who support this course, will grant you interviews on presentation of your Certificate of Completion. Getting to see these high-end providers can sometimes be difficult given the many hundreds of requests they receive. Simply sending your CV to all will completely miss the mark. Beat the queue and have those meaningful business conversations with the right people in the industry. They are potentially one of your key routes to market.

Note: An industry-leading provider company will also be present at the workshop, presenting their view of what is required to succeed in this specialist market area and what clients are looking for in interims. They will also be available to answer your questions.

15% discount off membership to the IMA Institute.

The IMA Institute is the dedicated membership organisation for career Interim Managers. Delegates who decide to pursue a career in this discipline are entitled to a special 15% discount off their first year's (associate) membership fees, in recognition of their commitment to the profession demonstrated by attending the workshop. This offer applies for up to 14 days post attendance at a workshop.

Quotes from satisfied delegates.

Thank you for the certificate. I found the workshop both well organised and very useful. I really appreciated the energy, enthusiasm and professionalism with which the facilitators presented the subject. I had done some research on the subject, but seeing and hearing the facilitators present their material and participating in the discussions which took place with the group really made the subject come alive for me. I feel I now have a much better understanding of what interim management really is about and feel both optimistic and enthusiastic about starting my own business. Thanks!
Russell ~ Vice President, R&D Beverages

I did not realise just how complex this market place was. Thanks to the workshop I believe that I am in a much better position to save time and money in getting myself established.
Charles ~ International Finance Director for Swiss Building Company

Thanks for the certificate of completion following the workshop. The workshop was very good value from my point of view - and standards are particularly high when paying for oneself! Good to meet other people who are also at a crossroads. Thanks for a well run event.
Andrew ~ Public sector MD for Healthcare plc

Working out my value proposition was especially helpful. It has made me seriously consider my options. Thank you for an excellent day.
Claire ~ Retail and Logistics Manager for Boots

Thanks for the certificate and the workshop. By the way, it was a great workshop @ a good price with superb trainers (and this, coming from a fellow trainer, is praise indeed).

Facilitated by two experienced Interim Managers.

There are two highly experienced facilitators delivering this workshop, both of whom are Interim Managers; one of whom was the Industry champion for the Interim Management Association and has worked for a number of years as an Interim Manager as well as a Service Provider to the Industry. He has also recently received his Doctorate, based largely on the study of Interim Management.

The other is a master facilitator who has facilitated meetings and training workshops across both the private and public sectors and who has lead over 100 of these workshps. They are supported by an expert in the area of company formation for Interims, providing an in-depth awareness of key matters relating to establishing and running your own limited company successfully.

Additionally, delegates will benefit from having the experience and in-sights of a leading IMA Provider who will present their view of what is required to succeed in this specialist market area from the provider's perspective, and who will also be available for questions.

^ top

Certificate of Completion.

Delegates will receive via email a Certificate of Completion within one week of attendance on the workshop.

This certificate is the currency you can use to 'buy' time with provider members of the Interim Management Association. Simply forward this certificate to the providers of your choice (list given on the CD Rom at the end of the course) and the providers have guaranteed to have a business conversation with you to discuss your situation. This will move you to the head of the queue in terms of the many interims trying to establish contact with these senior, specialist recruitment houses.

Quality lunch and CD of course material included.

The fee includes materials, CD-ROM with slides from the day and a full listing of IMA service providers and what areas they specialise in, refreshments throughout the day, and an excellent hot and cold buffet lunch.

Over 1400 Executives already experienced benefits.

.

We have also had a number of oversees participants, seeking to gain knowledge and skills to either break into the UK market or to launch into Interim Management in their own countries. Without exception, delegates have found the experience and knowledge gained on the workshop to be invaluable in both helping them determine whether they can succeed in this career and also, should they then decide to do so, how to make a fast and successful start.
