A senior interim project brief differs from an employee job brief in that it focuses on deliverables and timeframes rather than roles and responsibilities. During a transformation briefing session, an independent briefer may identify that the key problem lies elsewhere from the initial project brief. Top candidates during the shortlist interviews will have done research to further develop the project brief, making the interviews hugely valuable for the client.

How do I get the project brief right?

2. Good question. Indeed you may find that
at a transformation-leaders briefing
session that your briefer, himself a
senior independent, (not a high pressure
commission incentivised, agency
salesman urgent to make a sale), may
tease out that maybe your key problem
lies in a slightly different place.

3. A senior interim project is not like a job
brief at all. HR departments are great at
employee briefs but are not normally so
good at project briefs, which
concentrate on deliverables and time
frames. In the ensuing shortlist
interviews all top candidates will have
done considerable research to move the
brief on. These interviews can be hugely
valuable to the client.
