AHUA Expert Exchange: The Strategic Value of Interim Leadership

Register here

This event is for AHUA members only (no alternates)

This session explores how universities can use interim leadership as a strategic workforce tool, providing additional capacity, specialist capability and focused delivery when internal resources are stretched. It challenges the traditional view of interim as vacancy cover and asks how it can instead help universities accelerate transformation and deliver defined outcomes.

Audience outcomes

Participants will:

  • Consider where interim leadership could unlock capacity or capability.
  • Explore the shift from cost and role-based thinking to value and outcomes.
  • Understand how to structure interim assignments for pace, impact and knowledge transfer.
  • Consider what successful interim leadership should leave behind.

Discussion

Final discussion question: If you had an outstanding Interim Change Director for six months, what would you ask them to change?
