IIM Webinar: Introduction to the Interim Profession – Session 3

Due to unforeseen circumstances, it has been necessary to reschedule this webinar from May 15th to May 29th. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

======================================================================================================================

The IIM is aware that an increasing number of executives are considering a career transition from the world of permanent employment to being in business on their own account. Beyond this, many are considering this approach by looking to build a career in the interim profession.

This is rarely done as a ‘snap’ decision. It is our experience that people take their time to consider the pros and cons, including the basics of how to find work, how much income is ‘enough’, how am I going to position myself, how do I operate and so on.

Obtaining the answers to these and a range of other ‘hard’ questions brings a sense of reality to the thought process which balances some of the perhaps more romantic notions implied in ‘being your own boss’. Having a well thought-through approach brings a sense of how to make the transition work.

Building on this is the need to decide whether the individual can translate a successful ‘corporate’ career into a productive one as an interim practitioner, where you stand or fall on your own efforts. This does not suit everyone, and it is sensible to learn as much as you can before making a final full commitment to the career change.

As part of its remit to educate about the profession, the IIM is running a webinar that introduces people to the main themes that need addressing when considering this career transition.

Our main speakers are:

Michael Bond, Head of Client Engagement at our Affiliate, Campbell Tickell.

We are also pleased to have available for the session Simon Hudson, co-founder of boutique consultancy and IIM Partner Morphosis Partners. Simon has spent 20 years supporting the interests of Interim Professionals to continue to excel in changeable marketplaces. Morphosis Partners has been known to the IIM for a number of years and currently facilitates the provision of a series of seminars which have been developed in partnership with the IIM.

And lastly, both contributing to the discussions and hosting the event is Mike Thompson, an IIM Director, MBA and qualified Accountant practicing board-level interim with over 20 years deep commercial and financial interim management experience.
