What is (and who needs) a customer data platform?Angela Sun
A customer data platform (CDP) is packaged software that creates a persistent, unified customer database accessible to other systems. It aggregates customer data from various sources to provide a comprehensive view of each customer and their behaviors over time. CDPs exist to break down data silos across departments and systems to improve organizational alignment and create better customer experiences. They are most beneficial for mid-size and enterprise companies looking to gain insights from customer data and deliver personalized experiences across channels.

MAPS2018 Keynote address on EY report: Life Sciences 4.0 – Securing value thr...EY
Summary: This keynote address presented by Pamela Spence, EY Global Life Sciences Leader (pspence2@uk.ey.com) at MAPS 2018 – the annual meeting for Medical Affairs Professional Society – discusses our latest life sciences report and the industry demands for a customer-focused, data driven approach to health care. We describe the accelerating pace of change as technological advances and the escalating expectations of payers, physicians and patient consumers are combining to disrupt the life sciences business model. Data and algorithms that maximize health outcomes based on individual needs and preferences are becoming the ultimate health care consumable. To create value now and in a future that we call Life Sciences 4.0, life sciences companies must build – or participate in – interoperable information systems that collect, combine and share data.

Joining Forces: Interagency Collaboration and "Smart Power"Booz Allen Hamilton
This document summarizes the findings of a survey of 268 federal employees regarding interagency collaboration and addressing global challenges. Key findings include: 1) While agencies like Defense, State, and USAID share overlapping missions, collaboration is uneven and has not met expectations for some; 2) Budget pressures may increase the need for collaboration but managers are less optimistic it will reduce costs; 3) Smart power approaches remain applicable but support has decreased in some areas; 4) Agencies report having the tools needed but collaborating most effectively with other agencies compared to private/non-profit partners.

Tips for the Food sector: To keep up with this constantly shifting consumer behavior, look for early signs by using Google Trends to see how demand for certain food products or delivery services is changing to meet people’s needs.
Tips for Travel marketers: Our APAC travel recovery itinerary revealed that people have local trips and safety in mind, so marketers should seek to provide safety information upfront and present local product offerings and fun activities.
Tips for keeping people entertained: Though some people who signed up for a new entertainment source might stay, there’s also a higher likelihood of churn when their trial period ends. If you saw an increase in people signing up for your online products and services, focus on retention to keep them coming back, especially if you offered a free trial during the pandemic.
Tips for merchants: Make sure you integrate digital payment options for your consumers. Digital payments are expected to see a continued boost post-COVID-19, and trust in e-Wallets will likely increase.
Although there is still some instability, the internet sector in SEA is set to emerge stronger than ever in a post-COVID-19 world. The digital economy remains a bright spot in a very challenging economic environment, and e-Commerce remains a key driver of growth. The biggest takeaway for brands and marketers is the need to focus on people and their changing habits online, as well as keeping up with changing trends, as we continue to understand what our new normal will look like in the future.

The document provides an overview of trends in the European interim management market based on a survey of over 1,000 interim managers and clients. Some key findings include:
- Interim managers reported being busier in 2011 compared to 2009 during the recession. About 60% were currently engaged in work.
- Assignments have increased slightly to an average of 9.3 months. Over half of interim managers have more than 5 years of experience.
- Most interim managers (81%) are open to permanent roles, though commitment varies by country. Billing rates have stabilized after declines in 2009.
This document discusses an international study on the usage of Agile frameworks in medium and large banks in Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. It provides details on:
- The rationale for the study, which was to set up an international collaboration framework and examine differences in Agile maturity between the three countries.
- Key findings of the study which examined 256 teams across 30 banks, including trends in management support, team composition, and time since starting Agile work.
- Recommendations that Agility helps companies adapt but requires addressing rigid architectures, talent management, and a lack of product mindset. Culture and empowered cross-functional teams are important to embrace innovation.
The survey found that most organizations measure employee engagement annually through surveys. Over half of respondents reported an employee engagement score between 61-80% on their last company survey. Measuring engagement is important as engaged employees are linked to improved business results. Internal communications professionals are well-placed to influence culture and engagement within organizations.
The survey found that most internal communications professionals feel valued within their organizations. 65% feel they have a voice at the top table and 72% believe their CEO truly values internal communications. However, only 30% of CEOs spend half a day or more per week focused on internal communications. 78% of organizations measure employee engagement annually and over half report engagement scores between 61-80%. The results indicate that while internal communications is seen as important, more focus from senior leaders may be needed.

2) Respondents saw experience managing through a previous recession as important for senior staff during difficult economic times. This experience was thought to provide knowledge on effective strategies and a calmer leadership approach.
3) When considering opportunities, respondents noted the potential to focus on core priorities, achieve greater efficiency, and increased demand for interim management services during an economic downturn.

European companies are increasingly prioritizing customer experience but still have room for improvement. While investment in customer experience has increased over 10% for 42% of companies and is expected to continue rising, customers still rate their experience as average compared to other regions. CEOs lead customer experience initiatives for 40% of companies but responsibility is more dispersed in Europe, especially with CMOs leading for 20% compared to 15% globally. However, 37% of European companies do not measure the success of these initiatives, risking ineffective investments. Web self-service and social media are seen as increasingly important channels, though face-to-face contact still matters, showing digital and personal interactions both impact customer experience.
Interim Partners - Research White Paper 2014Claire Carter
The document discusses interim managers and the UK business environment. It finds that the use of interim managers at senior levels is increasing as businesses focus more on performance. While cost-cutting pressure has eased, the pressure to deliver results remains high. This has led to greater demand for interim managers who can prove they can improve performance. The document also examines which sectors and roles interim managers expect to see the highest demand for in the coming year, with project/programme delivery roles expected to be most in demand.

21st century Executive Recruitment. How organisations recruit Executives Toda...Executives Online Schiphol
Our research among over 1,200 European senior executives explores current trends in how organizations recruit executives, hiring expectations, and changes in recruitment criteria. Some of the most interesting findings address:
Does social media work for recruitment?
What candidate characteristic are organizations twice as concerned about as they were just 6 years ago?
What recruitment methods produce the most satisfactory results?
The rapid pace of change in European executive recruitment continues to accelerate. Twenty years ago, there were but a small handful of tried and trusted ways to recruit the right senior manager or executive. Today, the landscape is rather more complex. Our research among over 1,200 senior managers and executive across the UK and Continental Europe explores the methods organisations use to recruit, employee retention, priorities in executive recruitment, experience of job boards and recruitment agencies, social media, and measurement of recruitment.
In Executive Online\'s Challenge of Change report we explore how companies view and manage change. This groundbreaking report updates our original Challenge of Change report, published in 2002, with new research involving nearly 400 senior executives in roles where they’re responsible for business transformation programmes. It explores such challenging questions as: Is change used as a strategic tool to create better companies that are more able to remain successful, or is it used reactively, in an inward-facing way? What techniques and resources are being used to deliver change? How important are senior managers in this process? And above all, how successful are change programmes?
Social networking sites are playing an increasingly important role in recruitment according to a survey conducted by Executives Online. LinkedIn was found to be the most popular and useful social networking site for both job searching and recruitment. While over half of respondents had used social networking sites to search for jobs, and more reported finding jobs through these sites compared to the previous year, LinkedIn was still seen as more valuable than other sites like Facebook and Twitter. Most respondents believed that social networking sites would continue growing in importance for recruitment in the future, though they may not completely replace more traditional methods.
Portfolio Management Special by Private equity is already well known for its focus on cash. But when sales are down, and new finance a precious commodity,
it is essential that every last drop of working capital is squeezed from investee companies.
When smoothing over a transition period
in a successful firm, interim managers can
be important. But during a recession, as
portfolio company valuations plummet, bringing in an experienced head who is unafraid to make tough decisions could be the difference between financial freefall or a soft landing.

3. Introduction
Executives Online offers a unique, fast-track approach to executive resourcing and has been a pioneer
in the field of interim management practice and recruitment. With a nine-year history of matching
companies and executive talent, we have been both trendsetters and keen observers of the growth in
this area. By interim management we mean the strengthening of a company’s management team by
the addition – on a fixed-term contract – of one or more highly experienced senior executives.
The pressure on companies today to deliver results quickly and at reduced cost has only increased
amidst the challenges of the global economy. Recent economic conditions have brought about
headcount reductions, hiring freezes, outsourcing, and reorganisations that simply exacerbate existing
pressures. Optimal resourcing is always a corporate priority, but perhaps never more so than today.
In our business, we have seen the number of interim managers registered with us grow from a few
thousand in the UK in 2000 to over 80,000 globally today. We observe significant differences in the
recognition and adoption of interim management by country, and even by region within each country.
The Netherlands has long been regarded as the “cradle of interim management”, where it emerged in the
1970s as a more flexible way of engaging management professionals. Belgium is an equally mature market
for interim management, as is the UK. In Southern European territories and Asia Pacific, the concept is at
an earlier stage of development that shows much promise. Variations in terminology, contract structure and
local employment law make global interim management a diverse and compelling field for study.
We’ve seen tremendous growth in this area of our business, and we expect that to continue as the
value of interim management continues to be recognised by more companies and incorporated as
part of their resourcing strategies.
Reliable information about growth and trends in the field of interim management has not always been
readily available. Back in 2000, Executives Online worked in conjunction with the Institute of
Management Consultancy to commission a study with Sambrook Research International on the interim
management market in the United Kingdom. The Sambrook Report on UK Interim Management was
published in 2000. In 2004 and 2006 respectively, Executives Online published In the Interim and the
first edition of The Interim Report. In 2007 we updated The Interim Report with new information. In 2009
Executives Online now publishes multiple regional and international editions of this report, drawing on
a global market research exercise involving thousands of senior executives: 262 of these were in the
Netherlands, 57 in Belgium, and a comparably lower number in Luxembourg. We intend to use these
new reports as benchmarks against which future research can be compared.
We are excited to share this new information with you, and hope that it will address questions you might
have regardless of your perspective: as an interim manager yourself, as a company that has found
great value in interim management, or as a prospective client company that may not realise how
valuable interim management could be as part of your resourcing strategy.

Employment Status Current Status
At the time of our survey, just over a fifth of respondents
were working in full-time assignments and another 9%
were working full-time via a combination of part-time 9%
assignments. Another quarter was engaged part-time.
Almost half were not on assignment.

The Netherlands figures mirror the utilisation rates we are 45%

the Netherland trails other markets slightly, with Italy seeing

parts of Europe, Netherlands interim managers are feeling finding yourself:
themselves relatively less busy. Almost sixty percent of
survey respondents indicated that they were less busy than
they’d been a year ago, compared to just 50% in Ireland
and the United Kingdom, 47% in France, and 44% in Italy.
A quarter said that they were “about as busy as a year 25%
ago”, which was less than the comparable figure for other
countries: Ireland at 36%, Italy at 35%, the United Kingdom
at 32%, and France at 31%. Finally, a smaller percentage 59%
of Netherlands respondents indicated that they were “more
busy than a year ago”: 16% compared to 22% in France, 16%
21% in Italy, and 18% in the United Kingdom. Netherlands
respondents who indicated that they were “more busy”
than a year ago tended to be working in business services,
government/public sector/not-for-profit, and healthcare.
Less busy than a year ago – 59%

6. Length of Assignment
Interim management assignments can run the gamut from
short-term projects to longer-term initiatives. As the survey
results show, there is a spread, with nearly a quarter of projects
extending longer than a year. The same pattern is observed
elsewhere in Europe, with more assignments being either short
(under 6 months) or long (over 12 months).

10. Current Economic Crisis Has the current economic crisis been a factor in
your beginning to work as an interim manager?
The current economic crisis does seem to have had influence in
driving some to enter the field of interim management. For one
third of survey respondents, it was a factor, with some
respondents noting that “more opportunities were available
through interim assignments.” Other respondents bemoaned the
Yes
lack of hiring, noting that it was “extremely difficult” to land
33%
contracts in the current economic environment. “It was my only
option after I lost my job,” wrote one respondent. No
67%
For others, however, the decision to be in interim management
was only “coincident” with the economic crisis; they called it a
“long-term,” “well thought-out,” and “personal” choice.
Respondents cited a variety of reasons for choosing interim
management: “the flexibility,” “being on my own,” “gaining
experience in a variety of different organisations,” and “diversity
and challenge.”
Desire for Permanent Employment Would you apply for a permanent
job given the opportunity?
Mirroring trends we see elsewhere in the world, almost one-
quarter of interim managers are committed to the field of
interim management and would choose to continue in that
realm. The remainder said they could be interested in
permanent employment if the right opportunity presented itself. 22%
78%
Male 91%
No, I am 100% committed to interim

The current economic crisis does seem to
have had influence in driving some to
enter the field of interim management.

11. Interim Management Billing Rates
Changes in Billing Rate Change in Daily Rate?
Fully 65% of survey respondents indicated that their billing
rates have remained largely the same compared to last year,
on a par with the United Kingdom at 64%, but higher than 8%
Ireland at 55%, Italy at 50%, and France at just 27%. However,
27%
just 8% of Netherland respondents said that they were billing at
a higher rate, compared with 20% of respondents in France,
14% in the United Kingdom and 11% in Italy. On balance,
however, only 27% of Netherlands respondents were facing
lower billing rates, compared with 38% in Ireland, 39% in Italy,
and 53% in France.
65%
More – 8%
About the same – 65%
Less – 27%
Billing Rate Differential by Gender Women vs. Men
There was some billing rate differential by gender (among 1000
those who indicated gender), with men earning an average of
900
7% more than women. This compares very favourably with the
Average Daily Billing Rate (€)
800
€927
pay gap for permanent employment. According to European
Commission figures published earlier this year, the gender pay 700 €867
gap stands at 23.6% in the Netherlands and at 17.4% Europe-

wide. In the United Kingdom, a market where Executives Online

has extensive experience in interim management and where it
is well-established as a way of securing executive talent, 400
interim day rates for men and women are only 4% apart, 300
compared to an permanent employment gender pay gap of

21.1%. This relative gender pay equity, combined with the
flexibility and control over working life that interim management

offers, seem to indicate that the field may be a more attractive 0

option for women than permanent employment.
Billing rates for the Netherlands compare very favorably to
those in other countries. The rate of €927 for men is higher
than that in Italy (€616), Ireland (€739), and France (€902), and
the women’s rate of €867 is similarly higher than Italy (€759),
Ireland (€704), and France (€858).

Almost three quarters of the interim managers surveyed had

find work via two main channels: their own business

asked our registered interim executives what proportion of 25%
their work came to them via recruitment or interim
management agencies, and what proportion they generated
themselves. Their answers show that agencies had a role in
sourcing one quarter of all assignments among survey
respondents.

15. Most Important Qualities in an Interim Manager
Interestingly, when asked to rank the most important qualities in
an interim manager, survey respondents favoured aspects of
“effectiveness” and people skills more highly than specific skills
or experience in the job or function. The most important
qualities highlighted were:
• Ability to work strategically but also implement (40%)
• Results-focused (39%)
• Wide range of experience (33%)
• Ability to quickly get people on side (31%)
• Independence (30%)

26. Conclusion
We are grateful to the 262 senior executives in the Netherlands who participated in our online survey
September 2009. With more than 50 multiple-choice and ranking questions, and the opportunity to
provide detailed comments (which many did), this was no small ask.
In the figures published in this report, we see clearly the impact of the global economic crisis. A majority
of interim managers today (almost 60%) report being generally less busy than a year ago. A trend we
have seen in our UK business between our 2004 and 2007 regarding openness to permanent employment
has continued to show more interim managers who, for the right role, would return to permanent
employment. In the UK, 33% of interim managers in 2004, 57% of interim managers in 2007 and now 70%
of interim managers in 2009 would accept the right permanent role. In the Netherlands, in our first year
collecting data, the figure is 78%. Looking at it another way, only 22% of interim managers consider
themselves exclusively and permanently so. Much of this desire for permanence and stability is no doubt
due to the current climate; however, as the trend was evident two years ago, before the crisis hit, we
believe that senior executives are generally viewing their careers in a more fluid and flexible way, moving
from contract to permanent work easily and willingly. It may also be that our sample contains many interim
managers “pressed into” interim management involuntarily, via being laid off from their employed role.
Daily rates have held up, with 65% of Netherlands interim managers surveyed saying their daily rate was
“about the same” as last year.
As regards women in senior executive roles and specifically women in interim management, the data
turned up some very interesting conclusions. Women were more likely (70% of women versus 42% of
men) to perceive a “glass ceiling” preventing women’s career advancement, and in fact the distribution of
women in all roles versus senior management and board-level roles bears this out. Women were
somewhat more likely than men to perceive that interim management offered women more opportunities.
The reasons clients engage interim managers in the Netherlands are very similar to what we have
observed elsewhere in the world: Business transformation, change management, turnaround, needing
skills not present in the organisation, and needing extra management capacity. The positive qualities of
interim managers are also perceived similarly across country boundaries, and include interim managers’
results focus, appropriate skills, ability to quickly get staff on side, independence, wide range of
experience, and ability to think strategically yet also implement.
