Interim management.
Leading a technical team or a critical project for as long as it takes: stabilise, decide, deliver, then hand over.
You are probably in one of these situations.
An interim mission has a start, an end and a written objective. It succeeds when the team no longer needs me.
- A technical head is leaving, and replacing them will take months.
- A critical project is slipping: certification, industrialisation, transfer.
- An acquisition means taking over products and teams.
