Public sector specialists from Alium
Successful leadership in the public sector requires not only a broad skill set, but also an understanding of the political dynamics that shape the way organisations can and must operate. Public sector interim managers from Alium have the executive experience that our clients need and the government know-how their roles will require.
Whether in central or local government or NDPBs, the role of leaders within the public sector has evolved enormously. Managers and Directors need to be effective in dealing with stakeholders and exceptionally focused on delivery - particularly around key targets within the constraints of public sector expenditure.
Understanding political dynamics
Alium's successful track record sourcing interim managers for the public sector shows how deeply our dedicated Public Sector consultants understand the needs of today's government organisations. Because we appreciate the political dynamics that enable successful delivery and the cultural aspects of working in the disparate parts of government, Alium can add real value to the public sector.
We do that through applying our methodical approach to understanding your resource requirements, whether you need to drive up performance, introduce a more commercial approach to Public Corporations and Trading Funds, or ensure a key project is delivered on time, on budget and with full stakeholder buy-in.
Alium Partners has been appointed by the Department of Health and NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency (NHS PASA) as one of the suppliers on the Commercial Resource Framework.
The Framework will provide the Department and NHS organisations with access to a list of pre-qualified suppliers of flexible workers with commercial skills. The Framework will support skills transfer to sustain the development of commercial skills throughout the NHS, Department of Health and the wider system.
Interim managers with public sector experience
Any interim manager we recommend for government projects will have been pre-screened and interviewed by the Head of the Alium Public Sector Practice enabling us to confirm their understanding of the nature of public sector work. However, the majority of interim managers we provide to government bodies also have private sector experience - giving them additional insights into best practice they can use to add value to you.
Once in the role, you can then depend on our interim managers to focus their efforts on delivering the desired outcomes and outputs, as our Public sector case studies prove.

- Chief Executive
