The Swiss interim management market will grow to over CHF 380 million in 2023 / Around 2,000 interim managers are active in Switzerland / The fastest growing sectors are consumer goods, chemicals/pharmaceuticals and construction / 2/3 of assignments are for management vacancies and change management / 1/3 of interim managers are assigned to executive boards.
AIMP Provider Survey 2023
The industry comparison shows the change in demand in favor of consumer goods, the chemical / pharmaceutical and construction industries. These are all sectors that were of great importance to consumers, partly due to the pandemic, and demanded additional volumes in service, production and processing.
For years, management vacancies have been the most frequent area in which interim managers have been deployed. Interim managers are also constantly deployed to lead companies through phases of change (change management). A management vacuum is the biggest driver for the deployment of an experienced interim manager.
Management areas that served to optimize and support reorganization and transformation processes have grown through the increased use of interim managers. Compared to the previous year, interim managers were increasingly deployed in overall management and production. Personnel management as a service provider and the IT organization were called upon to deploy specialists with leadership experience on a temporary basis due to the high expectations of digitalization.
It is clear that in order to bridge temporary bottlenecks in management positions or to be able to act quickly and flexibly in times of change, companies and in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly looking for highly qualified temporary managers.
