Interim Laboratory Managers
Request interim laboratory managers during transitions: departures, restructuring, post-acquisition integration or turnaround situations. Define decision authority and success criteria before the engagement starts.
Methods, standards and specialized scopes

- Mandate: is the interim manager maintaining operations, implementing change or both? The answer changes the profile you need.
- Authority: define hiring, spending, quality decisions and escalation explicitly.
