- Part-time support from an experienced expert to keep projects and day-to-day decisions moving.
- Regular updates with senior management on risks and priorities.
- Preparation for the new director's arrival.
WHAT YOU GET
- Continuity of management with no break.
- A complete handover file.
- A new director who starts with a clear picture.
