Will they deliver or do they need professional Interims?

Will the coalition government have the bottle to push through their proposed savings ?

Will they really cut PFI deals which would cost everyone ££ millions over the next 25 years?

Will they upset so many groups that they get hounded out of office?

Will we really see a million public sector workers on the dole?

Well, they've set out their plans in broad terms and the detail will follow in October, but as every Interim Manager knows, you then have to deliver...no if's or but's, otherwise you are toast.

Consultants do the analysis and set out the plans (the easy bit), but Interim Managers deliver.

Interims everywhere will be watching Dave and Nick with interest in the autumn, to see if they can make the transition from consultants to Interim Managers!

Realism not optimism like Interim Managers

So - the economy is recovering, really?

It will take years for the adjustment to lower living standards for all in the West as we level up with the East.

Asset prices have much further to fall, 50%+ and real incomes likewise.

So let's get realistic like Interim Managers and accept lower pay rates and adjust our lifestyles accordingly.
