Interim Manager Consulting

What Interim Manager Consulting does

Interim Manager Consulting, operating commercially as EstratégicaMente, is a Spanish strategic boutique consultancy founded in 2014 and headquartered in Vigo, Spain, that operates internationally under the tagline "choose what's effective to make it efficient." The company serves SMEs, family businesses, startups, public administrations, and educational institutions through six proprietary service pillars unified by the SIMPLICITY© consulting methodology: SimplicityAdvisory (strategic advisory, mentoring, digital transformation), Simplicity for Grants (public-funding detection and proposal writing with 100+ grants managed and over €1.5M in client funding secured), Grantify (a SaaS GovTech platform for public administrations managing funding cycles), Simplicity for Processes (AI-driven automation of proposals, reports and documentation with predictable billing), Simplicity Consilium (an executive AI agent product with browser-local data processing), and Simplicity Lab (AI-literacy methodology for universities and schools). The technology foundation comprises five proprietary "Digital Senior Advisors" — NOVA (Strategy), KAEL (Finance), VERA (Operations), LUMA (Marketing), and LEXIA (Legal & Compliance) — trained on materials from leading international universities, plus the Grantify platform and the CriterIA© blockchain-recorded responsible-AI certification seal.

The business model is a hybrid of professional-services engagements (advisory, grants, lab) and subscription/SaaS contracts (Grantify, Simplicity for Processes, Simplicity Consilium), supplemented by two lead-generating diagnostic offerings (AI Express Diagnostic at €690 with 7-day delivery and AI Premium Diagnostic at custom quote with 30-day delivery, with the Express price deductible if a Simplicity suite is contracted within 30 days). Pricing for the six pillars is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct and partner-led with no intermediate layers: clients contact the firm via [email protected] or by phone and engage directly with senior partners. Marketing is content-led, anchored on a free EU AI Act self-assessment checklist, LinkedIn thought leadership, and webinars. The firm holds formal compliance postures for EU AI Act Article 50, the EU GPAI Code of Practice, GDPR (via CriterIA© hash-on-chain architecture), and WCAG 2.1 AA / UNE 301549:2019 accessibility, and was awarded the Wealth & Finance Award 2025. A 2025 IGAPE / NextGenerationEU co-financing grant under Spain's PRTR supports the Simplicity for Grants pillar, while broader operations have received FEDER co-financing. Headcount is reported at 1-10 core employees alongside an on-demand network of 50+ senior specialists across legal, technical, sector, and creative domains.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Direct peers

• BearingPoint: European-origin management and technology consulting boutique that combines strategic advisory with technology implementation. Directly comparable in combining management consulting with digital transformation, regulatory compliance and AI-enabled process improvement, though at much larger scale.
• Minsait (Indra): Spanish digital transformation and IT consulting arm of Indra, offering strategic advisory alongside proprietary platforms for public sector and enterprise clients. Closely comparable because of the Spanish base, public-sector GovTech orientation and blend of consulting plus own software products.
• Grantium: Specialised grant management software platform for public administrations and grant-making organisations. Direct peer to the Grantify pillar because both target the same end-customer (government agencies) with subscription software that replaces manual Word/Excel-based funding workflows.

Broad incumbents

• Indra: Largest Spanish IT and defence group, with a broad portfolio spanning consulting, systems integration and proprietary public-sector software. Comparable as a Spanish-language incumbent offering similar services (digital transformation, public sector tech) but at vastly greater scale and across many verticals.
• Deloitte Spain: Big Four advisory with a Spanish practice covering strategy, technology, AI, risk and compliance consulting. Overlaps with every Simplicity pillar but does not specialise in the AI-process-automation-for-SMBs niche that EstratégicaMente targets.
• Accenture Spain: Global strategy and technology consulting incumbent with significant Spanish operations across strategy, AI, digital transformation and managed services. Comparable in service mix (strategy + AI + transformation) but competes from a global, enterprise-only position with vastly larger delivery capacity.
• McKinsey & Company (Spain): Global strategy consulting incumbent with a Madrid office serving Spanish corporates on strategy, digital and AI. Comparable in offering high-end strategic advisory and digital transformation, though positioned for large enterprises and not offering Grantify-equivalent SaaS.
• NTT Data (Spain): Global IT services and consulting group with a significant Spanish footprint (including former everis). Offers strategic consulting, AI services, public-sector solutions and managed services — comparable as a Spain-rooted technology consulting peer but at much larger scale.
• Salesforce: Global CRM and workflow automation platform with Einstein AI agents and public-sector vertical solutions. Indirectly comparable because its AI agents and process-automation products overlap with the Simplicity for Processes and Consilium pillars, though Salesforce sells horizontal software rather than the firm's bespoke AI advisory.

Emerging players

• IE Consulting / ESADE Executive Education: Spanish business schools offering executive education, AI programmes and leadership reskilling. Adjacent competitor to the Simplicity Lab and reskilling pillars, addressing overlapping executive audiences with structured learning formats rather than bespoke advisory.
