About us
AC Alpha Management GmbH, the first interim management provider in Germany
Alpha Consulting was founded in Frankfurt on July 1, 1979 with the idea of building up a consulting company for industry with independent, experienced managers. In the first few months, customers told us, “managers should also implement their ideas, they know how to do it”.
In fact, interim management is defined as the “temporary perception of management functions from the outset through clear target specifications” (“Interim Management Rent A Head” by Kirsten Frank, Verlag Heinrich Sadler 1995, 1st standard work on the subject).
The interim manager takes over a management job without hierarchical power. He analyses the situation found in the company and begins to implement the situation that was recognized as necessary in the first days of operation. The focus of his work is on implementation.
When asked why our customers should engage an interim management provider, the answer is: “Intermediaries provide the added value of risk minimization through their selection procedure”, (“The Interim Manager, a new career model for the experienced manager”, Financial Times, 1998, p. 123).
