The WIL Group – Worldwide Interim Leadership – Annual Conference 2025 showcased how interim management continues to drive transformation and stability across global markets.

Russam was proud to be represented by Cathy Kay, Ian Joseph, Jason Atkinson, and Gary Lawton, connecting with peers, sharing strategies, and exploring how experienced interim leaders are helping organisations adapt and thrive amid global change.

A major theme of this year’s conference was the power of regional investment. One striking example came from Poland’s rapid economic rise – its GDP per capita has grown from 36% of the UK’s in 1995 to 81% today, with many regions now outperforming Britain’s less prosperous areas. This success has been driven by strategic investment, modern infrastructure, and policies that retain young talent, offering clear and practical lessons for the UK and beyond.

The discussions reinforced that when bold investment is combined with strong interim leadership and innovation, the results can be transformative – creating stability, driving growth, and building long-term value for organisations and economies alike.

If you’re exploring Executive Search, Interim Management, or Board Solutions, Russam’s team would be delighted to discuss how we can support your leadership goals.
