Interim Leadership
As CompassPoint’s research demonstrates, “The use of interim EDs represents and powerful capacity-building strategy, one we believe nonprofits should carefully consider when addressing the challenges of their next leadership transition”.
IES works with over 200 experienced professionals who are seasoned business leaders from a variety of industry sectors and nonprofit organizations. Our nonprofit interim executive leaders can step into vacated roles such as Chief Executive Officer, Executive Director, COO, CFO, and other key leadership positions. Each IES executive brings a strong track record of nonprofit leadership, senior-level responsibility, and team-building skills plus access to the IES support network with deep knowledge of for-profit and nonprofit best practices and effective approaches to interim leadership.
Moreover, our professional interims, supported by IES Partners throughout every engagement, focus on stabilizing and strengthening organizations, building the capacity of staff and board members, and placing organizations on a path to sustainability, either independently or in partnership with others. This approach not only ensures operational continuity, but also supports smart, cost-effective decision-making designed to minimize budget impact during critical transition periods.
Why is interim leadership such a great opportunity to strengthen a nonprofit?
