Interim management in the pharmaceutical industry – a viable alternative?
Pharm|AdInterim
The following situation will probably be familiar to you: not projectable, sudden bottlenecks, demand of working capacity in business-critical areas or short to medium term peaks in work load of high performers in departments dealing with processes of regulatory relevance or procedures which are time-sensitive for your business operations.
You wish to adequately and flexibly act and find a solution which fulfils all your requirements to manage the shortness of resources: exactly covering your demand, highly qualitative and experienced, short-term availability. At the same time, you do not wish to increase the headcount of your organisation because the critical situation will be time-limited and the accumulating workload is not plan- or foreseeable.

Scope of services
When peak workloads are expected or occur suddenly—especially in business-critical areas that require flexible and precise action—or when building internal FTEs for project-based, temporary tasks or capacity bottlenecks is not justified, external support through interim expertise offers effective relief for your internal resources.
- Execution of clearly defined projects, work packages, or consulting mandates with a set time frame
- Flexible support during peak workloads and capacity bottlenecks
- Flexible operation on-site, at the customer’s cooperation partners, or through remote support from the Wiesbaden office
- Framework cooperation/backup for global and national review and approval processes
- Substitution of professionals during illness, maternity leave, or planned absences
- Interim projects during vacancies or until key functions are filled or replaced
- Both management consulting services and "hands-on" activities in the operational environment
- Attendance at external appointments on behalf of the client (e.g., KOL visits, advisory boards, selection or monitoring of service providers, audits, or preparation for regulatory inspections)
- Availability of a partner network with specific subject-matter expertise, if required
Customer benefits
Building internal headcount is not always desirable, practical, or necessary from a management perspective, despite increasing tasks and unforeseeable bottlenecks. However, upcoming tasks or projects must still be executed within the given time frame, with the required expertise and the highest possible quality. Pharm|AdInterim supports you by expanding your know-how through the experience of external professionals.
- Flexibility regarding the area of operation, location, and time
- Extensive experience (since 1987) as a specialist and manager in the pharmaceutical industry (corporations, medium-sized companies, family-run businesses, start-ups, biotech)
- Self-employment since 2015 with various successful projects in the pharmaceutical industry
- "External perspective"
- No involvement in company politics or career goals
- Focus on the work assignment and content
- On-demand deployment possible
- Flexible time/performance agreements, e.g., through framework contracts
- Combination of specialists from different disciplines through the Pharm|AdInterim network
- Delegation of "uncomfortable" or time-consuming tasks to external professionals (e.g., vendor monitoring, audit preparations, process changes, and support during implementation)
