The INIMA Report 2024.
What happened in 2023?
European interim managers were highly active in 2023, continuing the saturation from the previous year with a stable high utilization (+69%) and a rise in the average day rate (+50€/999€). Providers across various European countries have also indicated a shortage of available interim managers. Despite the busy market, the survey predicted a negative trend in business conditions in 2024. The top five (5) actions foreseen to beat the trend were:
Project Acquisition and Marketing: Acquiring mandates and improving marketing efforts to increase visibility and generate mandates.
Digitalization and AI Application: Building knowledge and experience in digital tools, AI, big data, and leveraging technologies like ChatGPT for optimizing processes.
Work-Life Balance: Balancing workload, health, and managing stress to ensure a healthy work-life balance for IM professionals.
Crisis & Risk Management: Handling economic volatility, managing risks, and addressing supply chain challenges while providing effective crisis management solutions.
Professional Development and Networking: Continuous learning, building knowledge management systems, expanding networks, and staying updated with industry trends such as AI and digitalization
