With large-scale projects, an interim manager with experience of all the areas involved is the ideal solution because his primary aim will be to conclude the project successfully within the arranged timescale so that he can move on to the next project in the next company. Whether the task in hand is to relocate a facility in the same country or a different one, to rebuild an ailing business or to spin off parts of a larger group, setting the time scale of the project from the outset and agreeing appropriate milestones leads to effective, purposeful management. Preparatory analyses of the locations coupled with research on the possible subsidies and development packages available and detailed planning are the necessary basis for the successful management of such complex projects. To this end, we provide an interim manager with experience of the industry involved who, on the basis of a clearly defined task and a binding time scale, addresses the project in a motivated manner and concludes it successfully within the time and budget allotted. A success-related fee arrangement can act as an additional motivating factor. Project management tasks might typically take place within the following areas:  | Finances and accounting |  | Financial controlling |  | IT / systems / processes |  | Personnel issues / HR |  | Marketing & Sales |  | Purchasing / materials management |  | Logistics / supply chain management |  | Production / technology / R & D |  | Total Quality Management (TQM) | | | | |
