Interim management

Sometimes, during a certain period, a company faces specific challenges, projects, or assignments for which there is no suitable internal capacity and/or which would be better handled by an external professional. In that case, GDO can provide temporary support.


The main areas of focus for GDO's interim management are:

  • Policy development: shaping the mission, vision, strategy, and objectives.
  • Policy analysis: examining existing policies and identifying areas for improvement.
  • General management: team management and organisational development 
  • Overseeing business operations
  • Improving company performance (e.g. cost savings or margin improvement)
  • Putting together a good board/management team or improving the team's collaboration
  • Replacing a director
  • Bridging the gap between filling a vacancy
  • Translating strategy into actual, targeted actions
  • Preparing a company for sale
  • Guiding acquisitions or selling your company
  • Leading a necessary reorganisation
  • Initiating/expanding international growth
  • Leading in (economic) downturns
  • Attracting new permanent management
  • Guiding a transfer to the next generation/successors.
