Interim manager vs consultant

A consultant analyses and recommends, then leaves. An interim manager takes the role, owns the decisions and executes inside the business. If you need a problem solved rather than studied, you need an interim manager.

In short

A consultant analyses and recommends, then leaves. An interim manager takes the role, owns the decisions and executes inside the business. If you need a problem solved rather than studied, you need an interim manager.

Advice versus accountability

A consultant delivers a recommendation and hands it over. An interim manager steps into the seat with profit and loss responsibility and makes the change happen. The difference is who owns the outcome: you and your team, or the operator in the chair.

When a consultant is enough

If you need an objective analysis, a market study or a one off strategic answer, a consultant fits. The risk is the report that sits in a drawer because no one owns delivery.

When you need an interim manager

A vacant seat, a stalled function or a turnaround needs someone accountable in the role, not a recommendation. That is interim management.
