The Interim Leadership Placement Process
Interim Leadership
Interim CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, VPs and Directors.
You Define the Role
There are multiple situations when an interim leader can help organizations achieve their goals:
- Strategic Transformation – System upgrades, enterprise-wide deployments, the selection of new solutions and infrastructure, and many other initiatives can be advanced with interim leadership who have a successful history of performing these transformations. In these situations, an interim leader can be a catalyst for change, provide the needed leadership to drive the initiative, and stabilize the IT environment during the term of the engagement.
- Performance Improvement – Interim leaders will tap into the entire Huntzinger organization to assist them with identifying areas of improvement and finding opportunities to implement IT best practices. With Huntzinger, you get the power of many, not the power of one.
- Mentoring – An interim leader can also serve as a mentor to cultivate the talent of individuals who may grow into an executive role as they gain experience.
- Transitions – Recruiting new talent can take months or years. An interim leader is a cost-effective way to bridge the gap during the transition by providing continued leadership for the delivery of in-flight projects, while protecting a significant budget component during the absence of permanent management. Additionally, an interim leader helps position and package IT strategies to minimize the transition period when a new executive comes onboard.
- On-Demand Expertise – Budget constraints, geographic location and many other factors make it difficult for healthcare organizations to attract top talent. Interim leadership can provide needed expertise for a defined period, even for organizations that lack the budget to hire a permanent resource with advanced skills and experience.
- Organizational and Staffing Assessment – An interim leader can help organizations assess their staffing, skill sets and organizational needs to prepare for strategic initiatives.
Client Testimonials
The firm is a fantastic partner. They do a great job sourcing sharp, smart people. There are places I have worked that are like body shops and chew through people. People are just recruited and not vetted. I don't believe Huntzinger Management Group keeps a large bench, but they have a nice group of sharp people. When they do a great job, they generate trust, and then we can trust them to do the next thing. I trust them, and they have not disappointed me yet. They have earned our business.
VP/Other Executive – KLAS Testimonial, February 2024
Huntzinger Management Group had CIO expertise. They had clinical, nonclinical, revenue cycle, and IT expertise, so they were very well rounded. I was expecting only finance-type people, but the firm had clinical people and had high-level executives on call. The firm came to our engagement with a wealth of knowledge. The employees were not freshly out of college; they were seasoned strategists. Every resource had a significant background, so I felt like I was sitting in a room with executives who had 20 or more years of experience.
