If the ESS operates with strong values 💡 (solidarity, ethics, inclusion), it does not escape the realities on the ground: restructuring , digital transformation , evolution of economic models… Calling on a transition manager means benefiting from an expert capable of acting quickly and well, without disrupting the social mission of the organization.
What is ESS transition management?
Transition management is simple: an experienced manager joins a structure to manage a period of change (crisis, growth, transformation). In the social and solidarity economy, this need is all the more crucial since internal resources are often limited and the social mission remains the priority.
Why is this solution relevant in this sector?
👉 Because the ESS is constantly changing: new regulations, uncertain funding, changing societal expectations, etc.
👉 Because certain specific skills are not always available internally: crisis management, reorganization, implementation of new strategies, etc.
👉 Because sometimes you have to act quickly, without impacting the collective dynamics or the values of the organization.
When and why should you call on an ESS transition manager?
In the ESS, a transition manager can intervene in many situations:
- A change in governance: departure of a manager, need to structure a new team… An external expert allows for a smooth transition.
- A crisis to manage: financial difficulties, internal conflicts, loss of subsidies… Don’t panic, an interim manager knows how to get the organization back on track.
- A strategic project: merger of associations, international development, digitalization… So many projects that require in-depth expertise.
- An urgent need for skills: the social and solidarity economy relies on committed talent 💙 , but there may be a shortage of specialized profiles (HR, finance, logistics, etc.). An interim manager fills this gap, for as long as necessary.
