National Government

With the frequency and scale of new economic challenges demanding urgent, tactical initiatives – and driving the continuous re-assessment of budgets and long-term strategic objectives – senior executives throughout National Government are looking increasingly to interim management to provide the flexibility they need.

In these times of great uncertainty – when the challenges are huge, the speed of response critical, and successful outcomes, crucial – you need to be totally confident in the ability of the company you choose to provide your interim managers.

Offering a clear and cost-effective alternative to traditional consultancy and permanent recruitment, Walker-Cox has been a major supplier of interim managers to National Government departments for the past 10 years. Providing reassurance of the quality, integrity, transparency and value of our services, we have held the OGC Buying Solutions S-Cat since 2003 and, more recently, Catalist Interim Management Frameworks. 

A Managing Partner of the Walker-Cox Consortium of over 70 specialist companies, we offer interim expertise in depth and breadth, and enable our National Government clients to benefit from a broad portfolio of additional complementary services.

Over time we have built a detailed understanding of the relevant protocols and key drivers, and have developed a highly focussed recruitment team to ensure we are able to source the deep skills and specific talents required for this unique environment: interim executives with appropriate experience and competencies; and the intelligence, judgment and operational know-how to work effectively and efficiently – at the highest levels – within the public sector.

This approach has led to working with all the major governmental departments on a wide range of initiatives and programmes, regularly supplying interim managers to lead and support, for example:

  • Policy development
  • Director and senior management gap filling.
  • IT projects and programmes
  • Time reduction projects
  • HR change projects
  • Finance programmes and reviews
  • Transition management
  • Communications
  • Client-side roles for consulting projects.
  • Back filling to run the day-to-day
  • Provision of novel, fresh ideas.
