Interim Management & Change Support
Keep important work moving while you fill a leadership role or navigate a transition.
GRIFFOX Consulting provides hands-on support for agreed management, organizational change, and implementation responsibilities. We work alongside your team for a defined period, with clear priorities and a planned handover.
Where we can help
Cover the gap. Give the work a clear owner.
The starting point is what your organization needs to accomplish during the interim period. We agree which responsibilities GRIFFOX will carry, how decisions will be made, and how progress will be reviewed.
01 / Management continuity
Support while you recruit
Take responsibility for an agreed area of management work, coordinate priorities across the team, and bring unresolved decisions to the right people while your permanent search continues.
What you gain: Clear ownership of the covered work and an organized record of priorities, decisions, and open items for the incoming leader.
02 / Change and transformation
Move an initiative forward
Coordinate implementation, clarify responsibilities and dependencies, and work with managers on the communication and operational adjustments needed to put change into practice.
What you gain: A practical plan, coordinated follow-through, and visibility into progress, obstacles, and decisions requiring attention.
03 / Leadership transitions
Maintain continuity through change
Bring together the people, information, and operating responsibilities affected by a leadership transition. Establish useful handoffs and support the team as responsibilities move.
What you gain: Documented responsibilities, accessible working information, and a handover that helps the next person continue the work.
A defined engagement
Agree the work. Set the term. Review what comes next.
You contract with GRIFFOX Consulting for specific responsibilities over an agreed period. The scope, fee, availability, on-site schedule, and decision authority are established before work begins.
An initial 30-day engagement may be appropriate for a focused need. Longer initial terms and further 30-day extensions can be agreed where the work requires them. Extensions are mutual and subject to availability.
Clarify the immediate need
Discuss the vacancy or initiative, what needs attention, the people involved, and the timing. Establish whether the work fits GRIFFOX’s experience and available capacity.
Define responsibility and success
Agree the work to be covered, expected outputs, access and support needed from your organization, and how progress and decisions will be reviewed.
Carry the work forward
Work with the relevant leaders and teams, coordinate agreed activities, and keep progress, risks, and next decisions visible through regular reviews.
Extend or hand over
Review the need before the term ends. Agree an extension if useful, or complete the planned handover to your permanent hire or designated internal owner.
Local presence. Direct involvement.
Work alongside the people carrying the responsibility.
This service focuses on the Pensacola and Gulf Breeze area and nearby Northwest Florida communities. On-site involvement is planned around the work: management meetings, team coordination, implementation sessions, and handover.
You can discuss the situation face to face and agree a practical schedule. Start dates, travel, and the level of involvement are confirmed for each assignment.
Your engagement lead
Harald Lavric
CEO & President, GRIFFOX Consulting
Harald leads this service, drawing on leadership and consulting experience across customer service, compliance, organizational development, strategy, and change. His focus is on connecting management decisions with the people and operations responsible for carrying them out.
In the first conversation, we connect the proposed responsibilities with relevant experience so you can assess the fit for your organization.
Practical questions
Before we begin.
Can you help while we recruit for a permanent role?
Yes. Share the job description and identify what needs attention before the permanent hire arrives. We then agree which responsibilities GRIFFOX can cover and define an interim engagement around that work. Your recruitment can continue throughout the assignment.
Does the assignment have to cover an entire role?
No. It can cover the relevant management responsibilities within a vacant role, a specific change initiative, or a defined part of a transition. The scope follows the need and the fit with our experience.
Can we extend for another 30 days?
Yes, by mutual agreement and subject to availability. Before the current term ends, we review the remaining work and confirm the next period, scope, and fee in writing.
What if our permanent hire starts earlier than expected?
The agreement establishes notice and transition arrangements in advance. If your timing changes, we review the handover schedule and any adjustment to the engagement together under those terms.
How are fees and availability determined?
We provide a proposal based on the responsibilities, duration, required capacity, and on-site involvement. Fees, the proposed start date, and any travel arrangements are agreed before you commit.
What will our team receive at handover?
The handover is tailored to the assignment and can include current priorities, progress and decision records, outstanding issues, key contacts, working materials, and recommended next steps. A handover conversation helps your permanent hire or internal owner take over.
Start with the work that needs attention
What needs to move forward in the next 30 days?
Tell us about the role or initiative, your location, the immediate priorities, and your preferred timing. If you have a job description, it can help frame the conversation. We will discuss whether a defined interim engagement is a useful fit.
