BIE in the news
Fit for the job?
BIE estimates there are fewer than 700 professional interim executives in Britain — that is, those who have typically completed three or more significant assignments. A typical CV might look like this:
Experience: Five to 10 years' successful track record as an interim executive at a senior level in significant organisations. Proven ability to implement change and manage transition in testing situations.
Attributes: Decisive, high achiever, good at getting results; prefers hands-on approach. Unconcerned with personal status, willing to step down in responsibility level. Adapts quickly to different cultures, sectors and organisations. Immediately credible. People-focused and able to motivate, assess and handle a new team quickly. Exceptional interpersonal skills and attitude. Fit, active, lots of stamina.
Current status: Financially secure. Committed to an independent career offering variety and new challenges — not in search of a full-time job.
Mobility: Highly mobile. Able to accept assignments that require periods of living away from home, including abroad. Strong support from dependants.
Working hours: Willing to do what it takes, which may mean 10-12 hour days.
