Interim mandates
Implement data strategy faster
Would you like to implement your data strategy quickly and effectively, but are running into obstacles? An interim manager helps you set the course for a successful data strategy. It structures your data landscape, defines clear roles and responsibilities, and establishes solid data governance.
Bridging skills gaps
Do you lack the necessary resources or the specific know-how to set up your data organization? An interim manager has the expertise you need. It helps you identify skill gaps, select appropriate tools, and train your employees. This allows you to quickly expand your data literacy and achieve your goals.
Focus on change management
A successful data organization often requires cultural change. An interim manager will guide you through this process and ensure smooth implementation. It clearly and convincingly communicates the benefits of the new data strategy and motivates your employees to participate. In this way, you can reduce resistance and establish a data-driven corporate culture.
Objective evaluation and optimization
Would you like to review and optimize your existing data organization? An external perspective can be very helpful here. An interim manager analyses your current situation, identifies potential for improvement and develops tailor-made solutions. In this way, you can sustainably improve your data organization and strengthen your competitiveness.

Interim mandates in our framework
We work with the organization framework, culture and architecture.
Because in our opinion, these three areas are the most important factors for successfully anchoring data in the company in the long term.
We are happy to offer interim mandates in all three pillars. As a company, you can choose a focus that best supports the company's goals in the short term. But it is important to always keep an eye on all areas and not to neglect any of the three pillars in order to generate long-term impact.
The Data Institute — the strong partner for the use of interim mandates
Our goal is for companies to quickly get an impact and see what they can do with data. At the same time, we have an overall view of the company and want to implement long-term strategies that enable employees to work with data independently.
Interim mandates
A sustainable data strategy requires more than just technology. Our framework takes a holistic view of your company and integrates your data organization, architecture, and culture. In this way, you create a solid basis for long-term success. By developing use cases together with your employees, we ensure that your data strategy lives on even after I use it. As your interim manager, we will accompany you on this journey and help you establish a data-driven corporate culture.
Who needs interim mandates?
As a medium-sized company, you are particularly agile. But sometimes you simply lack the resources or the specific expertise for specific projects. An interim mandate gives you the flexibility you need. You can hire an experienced manager for the exact length of time that you need. This saves you money and at the same time receives the support you need to achieve your goals.
Who is involved in interim mandates?
In an interim mandate, several actors work hand in hand to achieve a common goal. The focus is, of course, on you as a company that needs an interim manager. Together with us, you define the requirements, select the appropriate expert and we coordinate the framework conditions.
The interim managers contribute their expertise and take on the agreed tasks. They are the local experts who drive your project forward.
