The Institute of Interim Management (IIM) has officially launched its 2026 Interim Management Survey, marking one of the most important moments in the interim calendar.
Widely regarded as the leading source of insight into the UK interim market, the survey captures the experiences, challenges and opportunities shaping the profession today. From day rates and assignment trends to sector demand and market confidence, the findings provide a valuable benchmark for both interim managers and hiring organisations.
At a time when organisations are navigating increasing complexity, the role of interim leadership continues to evolve. Interims are no longer seen solely as a short-term solution, but as a critical lever for maintaining operational continuity, delivering transformation, and managing risk in high-stakes environments. The IIM survey plays a key role in evidencing this shift, offering data-led insight into how the market is responding.
We strongly encourage all interim managers within our network to take part. The strength and credibility of the survey relies on broad participation, ensuring it reflects the full breadth of experience across the interim community.
For organisations that rely on interim expertise, the results will offer a clear view of where the market is heading – helping to inform workforce planning, resourcing strategies, and leadership decisions over the year ahead.
At Veredus, we remain committed to supporting the interim community and contributing to a more informed, transparent and effective market.
