Using Interim Leadership to Strengthen Organizational Agility

Member News
AMN Healthcare B.E.Smith

AMN Healthcare B.E.SmithAMN Healthcare / B.E. Smith has a track record of success in providing experienced interim leaders to fill open positions while clients conduct searches for a replacement. An additional item, AMN Leadership / B.E. Smith is excited to offer is helping partners deploy interim leaders independent of a search, an approach called strategic interim leadership.

Strategic interim leadership can be defined as when an experienced outside leader is contracted to execute a strategic project or lead a key initiative and is distinctly different from utilizing large-scale consulting firms or hiring the occasional freelancer. They can provide interim candidates in as short as 48 hours.

The benefits of this approach are substantial and include:

  • Cost savings compared to large consulting projects.
  • Maintain strategic momentum.
  • Enhance organizational agility.

Members are invited to explore this subject further with the new report, Using Interim Leadership to Strengthen Organizational Agility, which addresses the drivers and critical success factors in deploying strategic interim leaders on a project basis.

To learn more, contact Mario Karagianis, Midwest division director, AMN Leadership Solutions, at (316) 992-3269. For more information about the EBP program, visit the program’s webpage.
