Interim management: when experience meets AI

From the ground to the table, AI will have taken just a few months to establish itself at every level of the value chain and reshuffle the cards. AI is optimising logistics, reducing waste and streamlining customer paths.

The key role of interim management

But while AI can be a good co-pilot, it will never be the captain of the ship. When decisions need to be made in a climate of uncertainty, when a team needs to be brought together or when a crisis needs to be resolved, it’s not an algorithm that takes over.

Laurence FRENKIEL, head of Leaderia’s Interim Management division, has written an article for Journal du Net calling for interim managers to be recognised.

Decision-makers armed with genuine leadership, without a personal agenda, clear-headed, quick and pragmatic.

Intelligently combining human and artificial intelligence

The challenge is not to pit artificial intelligence against human intelligence, but to combine them intelligently. The success of future transformations will depend as much on the tools as on the people who use them.

In this balance, interim management retains all its relevance: it provides what the machine can’t: making decisions in the face of uncertainty, leading without imposing, moving forward without noise. In times of major upheaval, this form of authority without posturing, of experience without dogma, becomes a decisive asset.
