Interim Program and Project Management

Large-scale projects rarely fail because of technology — mostly because of missing leadership. When strategic IT programmes stall or internal capacity is lacking, programme responsibility is temporarily taken over at the interface between business strategy, technology architecture, and external partners.

Focus Areas

Strategic Programme Steering The IT portfolio is structured, initiatives prioritised by business value, and resource allocation across multiple projects ensured.

Vendor and Partner Governance External service providers and agencies are functionally led, deliveries verified against quality and cost standards.

Architecture Alignment and Stakeholder Management The dialogue between departments and technology is moderated, technological decisions aligned with business goals.

Key Data

  • Model: Temporary engagement (3–12 months), 20–80% capacity. Roles: Interim Head of IT, Programme Manager, Project Director.
  • Deliverable: Project success, stabilised teams and structured handover to internal succession.
  • Target Group: Mid-sized companies and larger NGOs in transformation phases.
