Seeking Elephants in the Finance Function: Notes of a Consulting Interim Finance Director.

This is Chapter 1 of a book that looks at my experience of leading a Consulting Interim team. We’ve worked in many different types of finance department and faced a variety of difficult situations or transition points.
The title of the book – Seeking Elephants – is a metaphor, a parable which crops-up throughout the book and seems to sum-up many of the lessons that I have learnt over the years.
The main purpose of the book is to interest and entertain finance directors and others who work in or with finance departments.
