Specialized Resources at Your Disposal

At Osborne Interim Management we understand that gaining access to any resource is an overwhelming and time consuming process which can delay business critical needs. Our accomplished team can add quick and effective access to industry best practices, new technologies, process improvement and functional expertise.

Our results-based, solutions-driven approach is tailored to the requirements of our clients; a sudden departure of a senior manager may require an interim executive until a replacement can be sourced. Or maybe an organization needs an executive consultant for a specific project that requires a specialized skill set, but doesn’t call for a full-time position. No matter the situation, we can assist in your time of need.

Our style is open, hands-on and straight-forward; we work alongside our clients, as both managers and advisors, while building strong and meaningful relationships that lead to success.

  • Our Executive Director left us at a critical time in the Park’s development. We couldn’t afford normal search firm fees and needed to expedite a campaign as soon as possible. Osborne knew our business and our urgent situation. Working with their partners at ScoutTalent they found us a tremendous candidate within 60 days of starting the campaign. It was both an effective and efficient process.
    Georg Paffrath – Chairman of the Board, Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation
  • Osborne Talent Acquisition supported our recruitment efforts for a new CEO from start to finish. They helped us develop the right profile for the individual we needed and then oversaw a process that resulted in a significant number of very qualified applicants. Their engagement in the screening and interview process led us to hire a terrific new CEO, bringing much-needed relief to the Board and invaluable momentum to our Society. I’d highly recommend their services to any other charitable or not-for-profit organization.
    Julie Hamilton – Board Chair, Palliative Care Society of Bow Valley
  • Osborne’s approach to talent acquisition led us to a great hire for our senior accounting role. The process from end to end was very efficient and effective, saving our team a lot of time.
    Jenn Mitchell – CFO & Partner, Crop Management Network
  • I  want  to express our gratitude and my gratitude for how Mark Olson of Osborne Interim Management has led us through the last six months. There is no denying his expertise is exactly what we needed and has us on the even footing we needed to pass the baton to our first ever Alberta Grains Executive Director. Thank you isn’t enough but I say it most sincerely.
    Tara Sawyer – Chair, Interim Board of Directors, Alberta Grains
  • Osborne brought both expertise and capability to help us validate and plan some significant organization changes which we felt we needed to meet operational challenges and position the business for the future. Osborne helped us communicate the changes to our wider leadership team and then fielded an Interim Executive to help us deliver them. The Interim Executive adapted well to our organization and successfully stabilized and improved our hospitality operation so that we are entering the winter 22/23 season with much-improved capability and confidence. He also ran a successful recruitment process for us to fill the role on a permanent basis with a strong candidate joining us in time for the start of the winter season. I would highly recommend the services of Osborne Interim Management for both consultancy projects and provision of interim executives.
    Darcy Alexander – Vice President & General Manager, Sun Peaks Resort LP and Sun Peaks Grand Hotel LLP
  • Osborne Interim Management was able to provide us with interim leadership during a period of significant transition and organizational rejuvenation. In addition to the Principal who acted as Interim Executive Director, they provided resources as required to facilitate a strategic planning session and update our Personnel Policy manual. The Interim then led the recruitment process that helped us find and onboard our new CEO. I would highly recommend the services of Osborne Interim Management.
    Victor Benz – President, Alberta Fish and Game Association

    David Dial – VP Corporate Services, Next Hydrogen
  • “Osborne Interim Management provided invaluable assistance to us as we merged three different operating entities into the new 4-H Alberta. Mark Olson as Interim CEO of the 4-H Foundation and Judy Williams as communications strategist played a significant role in our transformation and I would highly recommend their/Osborne’s services.”
    Kim McConnell – Former Interim CEO, 4-H Alberta
