The INIMA Report 2022.
European Interim Management as seen by practising Interim Managers.
2021 was a good year for Interim Managers.
Overview.
This was the second European Survey conducted by Interim Managers for the primary benefit of Interim Managers, it collected the views from all the leading European Interim Manager Associations.
The Positives.
The INIMA survey showed that business improved for European Interim Managers in 2021 with respect to 2020.
The number of billed days increased in Europe by an average of seven percent (+7%), the countries that recovered the most were those that were hit hardest by the pandemic in the previous year. The average utilization of European Interim managers in 2021 was 63%, and with 81% Germany had the highest utilization in Europe.
The interim managers on assignment in January 2022 had also increased by twelve percent (+12%) in respect to the same time last year as managers have re-entered the market, the re-entry was particularly strong in France and the UK (+21%).
In 2021 the public sector increased in the UK (+7%) and Poland (+3%) but the private sector still dominated with 91% of European assignments.
In most countries the average day rate was relatively stable, fortunately the reality was better than the bleak prediction of interim managers in the 2021 survey!
The personal network was confirmed as the preferred sales channel for the majority of European Interim managers. Personal networking generated even more assignments in 2021 (+2%), whilst less assignments came through providers (-4%).
In conclusion, business improved for European interim managers in 2021 and they also had a positive view for market development for the first six months of 2022.
