This was so useful. Gaining a deep insight into the Industry and how best to target and market my skills for this market were vitally important tools. Meeting other people and the opportunity to ask any and all questions were added benefits. I initially thought that I could not afford the day, but it was money so very well spent. Fantastic! Thank you.

Executives and Senior Managers - Private, Public and Not-for-Profit.
This unique workshop provides ALL Executives and Managers looking at Interim Management for the first time with the vital information they need to succeed in this career. It goes much further than simply presenting facts about the market place (which is where most other 'workshops' stop).
It helps delegates understand the intricacies of the different players in the industry, and provides delegates with essential tips and proven techniques to make an informed decision about their career choice and, for those who decide to do so, how to make a fast and successful start in Interim Management. It also critically provides you with excellent advice on how to market yourself to this unique industry.
It is a highly-interactive workshop where delegates have every opportunity to have their questions and concerns answered by two, fully-trained and highly experienced facilitators (experienced trainers and interim managers), who have facilitated over 100 of these workshops.
If you want to find out if Interim Management is for you and / or how to succeed quickly and avoid many costly and time consuming mistakes, this workshop is a must (read the quotes from delegates who have benefited).
Note: You do not need to be a member of the API to attend, although there are subsequent membership discounts available to workshop delegates (see Support)
Existing Interims
The self-marketing aspects of this interactive workshop have proven extremely valuable to interims who are experiencing prolonged periods in-between assignments and/or who have not previously operated outside of their own network or sector.
Understanding how to take advantage of the different routes to market, how to pitch your value to clients in terms of 'problems solved', how to construct your business letters and CV to set yourself ahead of the rest, are all skills unique to this market which are covered by the workshop.
The interactive nature of the workshop allows delegates of all experience levels to gain a fresh understanding and approach to marketing themselves more effectively.

Quotes from satisfied delegates.
Thank you for the certificate. I found the workshop both well organised and very useful. I really appreciated the energy, enthusiasm and professionalism with which the facilitators presented the subject. I had done some research on the subject, but seeing and hearing the facilitators present their material and participating in the discussions which took place with the group really made the subject come alive for me. I feel I now have a much better understanding of what interim management really is about and feel both optimistic and enthusiastic about starting my own business. Thanks!
Russell ~ Vice President, R&D Beverages
I did not realise just how complex this market place was. Thanks to the workshop I believe that I am in a much better position to save time and money in getting myself established.
Charles - International Finance Director for Swiss Building Company
Thanks for the certificate of completion following the workshop. The workshop was very good value from my point of view - and standards are particularly high when paying for oneself! Good to meet other people who are also at a crossroads. Thanks for a well run event.
Andrew - Public sector MD for Healthcare plc
Working out my value proposition was especially helpful. It has made me seriously consider my options. Thank you for an excellent day.
Claire - Retail and Logistics Manager for Boots
Thanks for the certificate and the workshop. By the way, it was a great workshop @ a good price with superb trainers (and this, coming from a fellow trainer, is praise indeed).
Karen - National Training Manager in Retail Financial Services
Public Sector
If you've spent your life in local government and have just one day to decide if interim management is your next big thing, then this is the workshop for you. It gave me a real insight into what the role demands. I now know the steps I need to take to give me the best chance of winning interim assignments. There was also plenty of advice on the practicalities of getting established as a limited company. Last but not least, the workshop is a good opportunity to network with like-minded people from a wide variety of backgrounds.
Dave Nash, Strategic Director - Stratford-on-Avon District Council
I was slightly cautious about attending this workshop, but found it extremely informative and very valuable in helping me understand this career path. The road ahead is challenging, but exciting and I am looking forward to employing many of the excellent techniques and tips given to help me get started. Thank you for a first-class day!
Carol Stewart, Assistant Director - Greater Merseyside Connexions Partnership
I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone, particularly to those from the public sector, thinking about becoming an interim manager. It's a focused yet wide-ranging explanation of the key things you really need to get to grips with as part of your decision whether to enter this challenging market place.
Fran Gillon Public sector Director -Legal Services Board
I have known Dave Harries through my role as an interim manager. Dave has been leading on promoting and educating the interim management profession as an alternative career path for public sector staff facing redundancy as a result of central government spending cuts in the UK. His practical courses makes participants think outside the box about their future career and development and provide the information people need know to make an informed decision, as well as how to go about becoming a successful interim.
Jens Gemmel Corporate Transformation Programme Director -London Borough of Tower Hamlets

Marketing Yourself
Marketing yourself successfully.
Fast-track your new career by learning proven techniques and tools of how to market yourself in this complex industry; Understanding how to take advantage of the different routes to market, how to pitch your value to clients in terms of 'problems solved', how to construct your business letters and CV to set yourself ahead of the rest, how to understand and exploit routes to market, and how to look for new work whilst still on an assignment, are all skills unique to this market which are covered by the workshop. The interactive nature of the workshop allows delegates of all experience levels to gain a fresh understanding and approach to marketing themselves more effectively.
Note: Whilst aimed primarily at Interim Management, many of these self-marketing skills and tools are also directly applicable when seeking permanent employment and will be invaluable even to those who subsequently decide to pursue full-time positions.
Learn the secrets of operating productively (as an Interim).
Examine the skills and techniques required to succeed in this industry. You may already be a successful (permanent employment) manager, but the speed and approach needed to interim management roles is almost certainly different to anything you have previously experienced. Learn the art and necessity of how to diagnose underlying issues rapidly on entry into a new assignment, how to (re) negotiate your terms of reference, how to harness support, sometimes in hostile environments, and how to win assignments at those initial business meetings in the first place.
Learn also, critically, what you are supposed to accomplish in that first vital week!
