Many companies. especially family
businesses, are not in a position to employ key management skills on a full-time
employee basis. Often this is due to the costs associated with securing
and retaining an executive with the appropriate skill base, or because the
business does not see the need for such a person on a full-time basis.
aCkTiF Group offers an Interim
Management service to solve this problem. When acting as an Interim
manager, fees are charged on an agreed daily rate. However, the client
chooses the amount and frequency of time required. Clients can enjoy the
benefits of a committed management resource without the long term commitment, as
the service can be terminated or extended as the clients needs require.
