Line management
Interim management means one thing to me: taking responsibility.
An interim manager should not stand beside the organisation. He has to become part of it — at least for a defined period.
I take on operational leadership roles when companies need management capacity or particular experience at short notice.
When a line role makes sense
- an unplanned management vacancy
- insufficient production performance
- delivery problems
- a critical quality situation
- restructuring
- organisational change
- a production transfer
- building up or stabilising a site
- a succession or transition situation
My roles
- Plant managementResponsibility for the site, the people, production, quality, cost and operational performance.
- Head of productionStabilising and developing the production organisation, its workflows and its performance.
- Operations managementSteering operational value creation and building capable structures.
- Head of qualityStabilising quality systems, organisation and processes.
- General management / CEOTemporary overall entrepreneurial responsibility in particular transition and change situations.
How I work
- 01Understand the situation
Within a short time a reliable picture emerges of performance, organisation, people, processes and risks.
- 02Set priorities
Not every problem can be solved at once. The decisive topics are prioritised.
- 03Take the lead
Responsibilities are clarified, decisions are taken and measures are followed through.
- 04Stabilise structures
Immediate measures give way to working processes and leadership structures.
- 05Prepare the handover
The successor does not inherit a building site, but an organisation that can be steered again.
The aim
An organisation that works better after I leave than it did when I arrived.
