19 August 2025/SINGAPORE — X-PM, a global executive interim management specialist, has partnered with BPG, an implementation-focused, problem-solving consultancy, to transform the executive interim management sector. Unlike staffing consultancies that manage the placement of executives on contract, the X-PM and BPG partnership takes accountability of the interim executives’ success by supporting the delivery of measurable results.
X-PM’s interim leaders are typically deployed in transformation roles that demand speed and operational impact. The partnership gives interim transformation leaders the competitive edge since they can tap on BPG’s proprietary methodologies and its suite of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Solutions. With ready access to BPG’s processes, tools and resources, the executive interims can effectively fast-track the delivery of impactful solutions that yield both immediate results and sustainable long-term benefits for the organisation.
Ronald Kleer, BPG’s Chief Problem Solver explained, “Across diverse industries and technologies, we help executive interim professionals identify challenges and opportunities and resolve issues to successfully generate tangible business results. This is what fuels the X-PM and BPG strategic partnership. Thus, whether executive interims are engaged for transformation assignments or operational challenges, we collaborate closely with them and the client teams at every stage to achieve the desired goals. Our process ensures stakeholder alignment and builds the client team’s internal capabilities.”
X-PM’s Southeast Asia Managing Director, Mike Magee said, “Given the cost and time constraints amid the current climate of geopolitical and economic uncertainty, executive interim leaders offer a unique blend of specialised expertise and objective insight that a permanent hire or a traditional consultant may not be able to provide. Executive interims can seamlessly step into action, quickly assessing the situation and implementing solutions, especially with BPG’s support. Against clearly defined project goals, X-PM and BPG take accountability for the results with a percentage of our fee performance-based, which differentiates us from the competition. Together, we offer a measurable return on investment without the accompanying long-term overhead of permanent hires, who are generally more expensive, and time consuming to recruit and onboard.”
Both X-PM and BPG have their regional headquarters in Singapore, serving Asia and the Middle East. On the supply of executive interim leaders, Mr. Magee added, “Singapore has no shortage of on-demand interim executives with deep experience and knowledge across varied industries and cultures since the Republic is a talent magnet.” Drawing on insights from more than 650 interim management projects delivered globally in the last 24 months, X-PM’s data shows that over a third of its executive interims in Southeast Asia are Singaporean and/or Singapore permanent residents.
Employing executive interim professionals is part of an increasing global trend synonymous with the rise of the gig economy, fractional leaders and part-time work, as enlightened companies embrace a more flexible, cost-effective and skills-based talent approach.
