This scheme connects regional executives with experienced backgrounds to founders seeking to prepare their organisations for growth.
This group of well-connected individuals bring expertise in leadership, financial management, creative arts, marketing, business development, investment, HR, and product development - providing organisations with a range of capabilities and opportunities.
Businesses can propose their hands-on support requirements to bring in missing skills from the founder team, helping them implement strategies and achieve growth objectives.
The legacy of the engagement is a robust and sustainable set of systems, processes, and strategies that can be built on and advanced.
Engagements last up to 20 days over three months, with 60% of the fixed day rate awarded to the business as grant funding, enabling accelerated growth during a critical stage of their journey towards scale.
“My experience of the Interim Executive scheme has been incredibly valuable. The careful work undertaken in matching me with a shortlist of potential executives gave me the luxury of choosing between industry experts. Having settled on two Interim Executives, our subsequent work has redefined my project, maximising its commercialisation.
“To have the opportunity of a ‘fresh eyes’ consultancy on my business by the Executives, who have critiqued both my proposition and my approach, would have been worth my participation alone. Their involvement, however, has gone further with the production of documentation and plans that has accelerated my route to investment and market launch.” - Ben Darby, Orderly Life.
