Framework Agreement Between EIFFEL and Dutch Government Creates Opportunities for Interim Managers
- Team EIFFEL
Through a new framework agreement with the Dutch national government, EIFFEL offers guaranteed access to interim assignments at management level. These are temporary assignments at various ministries, focused on organizational development, process improvement and establishing new structures. These assignments range from the Ministry of Defense and Justice and Security to the earthquake matter in Groningen and recovery from the benefits scandal.
Opportunities for Experienced Interim Professionals
The partnership offers interim professionals the opportunity to work on societal challenges through EIFFEL. Assignments vary from guiding reorganizations to setting up new programs or professionalizing teams. Clients seek expertise in line management, project management or program management.
Practical Example
One example is an assignment at a ministry where a reorganization within operations was on the agenda. Through EIFFEL, an interim manager was deployed to establish portfolio management and implement project-based work. The assignment involved not only structural changes but also guiding employees through the transition.
Deployment in Groningen
In Groningen, EIFFEL interim managers support programs around earthquake damage claims processing. They advise program directors and build teams. Assignments last an average of 1 year, after which the acquired knowledge is applied to new projects within the public sector.
Support and Knowledge Sharing
While interim professionals work independently, they are part of EIFFEL's broad knowledge network. EIFFEL facilitates knowledge sharing, organizes inspiration sessions and provides support with administration and contracts. This allows professionals to focus fully on content and continue developing.
Thanks to this agreement with the national government, we have many diverse assignments for interim managers. The common thread? You see your work reflected in political debate or the newspaper. You always work on current topics with societal impact.

Independent interim managers with relevant experience are also welcome within this network. They gain access to assignments and benefit from support with administration and knowledge sharing.
For Whom?
The assignments are intended for professionals with at least 7 years of experience in line, project or program management, within or outside government. Experienced civil servants who are ready for the next step outside the regular government structure also find an opportunity here to continue doing socially relevant work.
