Why OneAccord Interim Management Exists

OneAccord was started for a number of reasons, one was the market needs, we saw that there were a ton of experienced people in the market that could be consultants but didn’t traditionally consider themselves as a consultant that growing demographic of baby boomers brought a wealth of experience with them but they weren’t used to delivering consulting in a classic consulting model, which was the senior person brings on the MBAs and the MBAs do all the work, it’s like the kid model if you will. So the gap that we saw in the market was to take advantage of all this experience, but also leverage that into both project and interim, and permanent roles. The average VP of sales is in a role 26-28 months so the opportunity to manage multiple projects or to work on an interim time frame to help a company get to a particular milestone was a particularly good opportunity for OneAccord.
