Working Together
Three Solutions.
One Principle: We Deliver Ourselves.
Strategy and execution in-house, permanently handing over leadership, or taking on responsibility temporarily until you make your own hire. In all three cases: one of us is personally involved. No team of junior consultants, no broker.
No Brokerage
– we deliver ourselves
No Broker Commission
Two Managing Directors – quality stays consistent, even through handovers
Your Decision
Which Solution Fits Your Situation?
Project-Driven
Consulting & Performance
You want to keep control, but move faster with external strategy and execution expertise.
- You need a strategy or a project, not a takeover
- Your team stays in charge, we bring the market expertise
- Often evolves into Outsourcing or Interim later, if needed
Permanent
Outsourcing
You have no team, too small a team, or the know-how is permanently missing — OCCON takes over the process as an extension of your organization.
- No team, too small a team, or missing know-how — permanently, not just temporarily
- You want to hand off the process, not just bridge a gap
- An ongoing partnership instead of a fixed-term mandate
Temporary
Interim Management
You need leadership on a temporary basis — until a vacancy is filled, a successor is found, or an acute situation is resolved.
- A specific role is vacant (CPO, Head of Procurement, Head of SCM or Logistics)
- You're planning to fill the role permanently down the line
- It needs to happen fast, without an assessment phase
The Difference
All Three Models, Side by Side
| Consulting & Performance | Outsourcing | Interim Management | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duration | Project-based, often with follow-on phases | Permanent, with no fixed end date | Fixed-term, duration varies by situation |
| Objective | Develop a strategy or execute a tender project (freight, warehousing, procurement) | Have the process run externally, permanently | Bridge a vacancy until you make your own hire |
| OCCON's Role | Strategic partner, your team stays in charge | An extension of your organization | Full operational responsibility in a specific role |
| Who Delivers | Experienced OCCON team with Managing Director involvement | Experienced OCCON team with Managing Director involvement | Two Managing Directors, personally – never referred onward |
| End | Project end, or transition into Outsourcing/Interim | No planned end, an ongoing partnership | Handover to the newly hired leader – or a switch to Outsourcing |
| Pricing Logic | Project or day-rate basis depending on scope | Individual model depending on scope | Flat day rate, no broker markup |
Still Not Sure?
Common Questions About
Choosing the Right Fit.
Can I switch from Interim to Outsourcing?
Yes, at any point during or at the end of the mandate. If a permanent hire turns out not to be the right solution, we simply continue the same responsibility under our Outsourcing model – no new selection process, and no change in your point of contact.
What if I'm not sure which solution fits?
That's exactly what the free initial call is for: we work out together whether your situation calls for a strategy or a specific project, a permanent takeover, or leadership on a temporary basis.
Do I need to commit to a full strategy, or is a single tender project enough?
Both work. Some clients come to us with a clearly defined tender project – a freight, warehousing, or category-specific procurement tender, for example. Others need an overarching strategy first, from which individual projects are then derived. We work that out in the initial call.
Can a role combine elements of both Outsourcing and Interim Management?
In practice, yes – some mandates start as an interim bridge and evolve into a permanent Outsourcing model once it becomes clear that a permanent hire isn't actually necessary.
