TFT Interim Consulting, S.L.

Company Profile

We deploy our international interim managers outside the EU in the BRIC states (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and in the NAFTA states (USA, Canada, Mexico).
Our international portfolio of interim managers is a tangible response to the demand for more mobile management. TFT Management S.L. specializes in the implementation of measures designed to optimize processes in the supply chain, production, quality management, sales and marketing, services and administration; the set-up/dismantling and relocation of sites and manufacturing plants worldwide; the assessment of local suppliers, the development and optimization of national marketing and service organizations, the alignment of structures and processes in subsidiaries to the standards of the parent company and cost-cutting measures.

International interim management places higher requirements than national interim contracts. Interim managers must demonstrate that they have extensive experience of working in the countries of assignment to enable them to meet the on-site expectations of the customer by themselves. This is why the selection of interim managers under consideration for international placements is a far more stringent process.
The decision to appoint an interim manager at its foreign sites is not an easy one for the client either. There is not usually much time to become acquainted with one another. Sending the interim manager on his way with insufficient power for control undermines his authority. Keeping him on a short leash is not a feasible option, nor would it do justice to the purpose of the placement. The customer must therefore rely on the judgment of its interim management provider. There are increasing demands for interim managers who are nationals of the target country. Ideally speaking, TFT Management S.L.is in a position to provide interim managers directly from the country of assignment, if the customer wishes.In critical situations the success of overseas investments depends on the interim managers to whom they have been entrusted. They must be available at the right time, for the right length of time and with the right qualifications. TFT Management S.L. only puts forward interim managers who are ideally suited to your requirements.In many cases, interim managers already have a valid work and residence permit – a useful asset in most countries. Interim management brings many benefits despite limited time of assignments TFT Management S.L Interim management is essentially a sector- neutral tool.
Our experience shows that the following sectors tend to appoint interim managers more frequently than others:

• Automotive, Oil and Gas, Power Plant suppliers
• Mechanical and plant engineering
• Measuring and control system, sensor technology
• Electrical engineering
• Energy industry

Oil and Gas suppliers set the benchmarks for every other sector in interim management as well. Nowhere else are the requirements of mobile management higher. Anyone who can prove his worth here will hold his own as an interim manager in every other sector. This is why demand is on the rise specifically for interim managers with experience of working in this industry. This is particularly true of interim mandates in the fields of SCM, lean management, program management and project management.
In addition to this, an increasing number of interim line- management contracts - e.g. the bridging of vacancies - are based on the expectation of specific knowledge transfer.
There is less demand for in-depth industry know-how on the part of interim managers.
Interim management is most often used in volatile markets with short product lifecycles.

experience who have proven their reliability
• Suitability checks in individual interviews.
