Pre-order: Interim Path, Part 1: Build Your Own Interim Service

Pre-order the practical guide to starting your interim journey (eBook, in English)

Interim work is a model where an experienced specialist or leader steps into an organisation for a fixed period to solve a critical need. It is fast to start, flexible for both sides and highly effective when the work cannot wait for a traditional recruitment process.

This book is the first part of the Interim Path series, designed to help you explore interim work and understand whether it could be your next career step. It offers a low-threshold, practical introduction to the world of interim roles and guides you in shaping your expertise into a service that is clear, credible and easy to sell.

What does it look like in practice?
