Ijsselvliet

What Ijsselvliet does

IJsselvliet is a privately-held Dutch strategic consulting firm (IJsselvliet bv) headquartered in Zwolle with a secondary office in Hengelo. The firm operates from two regional offices and serves mid-market companies (middenmarkt) and family-owned businesses in Northern, Eastern, and Central Netherlands (Noord-, Oost- en Midden-Nederland). Founded as a management consulting practice and led by director-owner Eric Moen, IJsselvliet employs a compact team of approximately 13-14 advisors and operates alongside a wholly-owned subsidiary, IJsselvliet Interim Management, which places interim professionals in Finance, Business Operations, and HR. The firm previously spun off its corporate finance activities into the independent entity Stratfield in March 2018.

The firm delivers advisory services through a proprietary methodology called 'De Winnende Strategie' (The Winning Strategy), structured around three pillars: Focus (making sharp strategic choices), Alignment (translating strategy into organizational structure and processes), and Commitment (building employee buy-in and cultural support). The service portfolio includes strategic advisory, organizational design, leadership development, change management, family business succession advisory, and CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) implementation — the latter delivered in partnership with Master Sustainability's AI-driven ESG platform. The firm emphasizes a pragmatic, 'snelkookpan' (pressure cooker) approach and direct involvement with executive teams and management boards.

IJsselvliet generates revenue through project-based consulting engagements and ongoing advisory relationships, with pricing conducted on a quote basis per engagement. Go-to-market is direct, sales-led, and relationship-driven, focused on management teams and directors in mid-market organizations. The firm supplements direct sales with content marketing (blog, quarterly newsletter, columns), LinkedIn presence, and a series of masterclasses and events targeting mid-funnel prospects. Customer logos span manufacturing, education, heritage/cultural organizations, agriculture/food, media, HR/technology, construction, and technical services — including Verbruggen Palletizing Solutions, Landstede Groep, Collectie Overijssel, Hoekman RVS, Nederlands Bakkerij Centrum/FoodBase, Erdee Media Groep, Cotap, Fijn Wonen, and Van der Sluis Technische Bedrijven.

A separate IJsselvliet Interim Management unit supplies interim finance, operations, and HR professionals, and the firm implements CSRD sustainability reporting using the Master Sustainability platform.

Product overview
