- Speed – an interim Manager can be available the same day or within days as opposed to weeks or months
- Effective – because of the expertise and experience of the interim Manager, they can conduct and complete the assignment effectively and with speed

They actively add value to the client organisation as a result of their expertise and approach, even when the work and the decisions to be made are difficult
- Return on investment – an interim Manager adds value by using their skills and expertise to help deliver an outcome, solution, service or mitigate risk that provides a meaningful ‘return on investment’ to you and your business
