Always part of the solution. Professional interim management


In 2024 one thing seems to be repeating. As at the start of 2023, the topic of artificial intelligence is once again at the centre of attention.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) presented a new study: “Gen-AI: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work.” The download is worthwhile.

It is summarised as follows: “In advanced economies, about 60 percent of jobs are exposed to AI, due to prevalence of cognitive-task-oriented jobs. A new measure of potential AI complementarity suggests that, of these, about half may be negatively affected by AI, while the rest could benefit from enhanced productivity through AI integration.”

60% affected by AI. 30% could benefit. 30% will probably suffer disadvantages.

For managers, whether as interim managers or permanent employees, it is crucial to know how to deal with AI. At least in general. Not necessarily in technical detail, but from an overarching management perspective to further develop and strengthen organisation’s business models. And to take employees along on this new development path.  

The management tool Interim Management is perfect for this. Implementing changes. Opening up new perspectives. In the end: monetising good ideas.

And how do INTERIM-SHERPAS fit in here? We asked ChatGPT.

“Interim managers and Sherpas share commonalities in their roles as experienced guides. Interim managers are temporary leaders employed to navigate organizations through transitions or crises, providing strategic direction and expertise.

Similarly, Sherpas, originating from the Himalayan region, serve as expert guides for mountaineers, ensuring a safe ascent and imparting their knowledge of challenging terrains.

Both roles involve temporary engagements where specialized skills are utilized to facilitate successful outcomes – whether in the corporate world or the realm of mountain expeditions. Despite operating in different contexts, these roles highlight the importance of skilled guidance and leadership during critical journeys or periods of change.”

…couldn’t have said it better 😊

We wish you a successful, exciting 2024.
