What Lysias Consulting Group B.v. does

Lysias Consulting Group B.V. is an independent Dutch advisory firm headquartered in Amersfoort, Netherlands, specialising in strategic consulting, research, committee support, and interim management for the public sector. Founded in 2000 by four entrepreneurs, the firm operates through two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Lysias Advies B.V. (advisory services) and Lysias Interimmanagement B.V. (interim management) — under co-directors Marcel Benard and Korien Jurgens. Across 25 years, Lysias has built a client roster spanning all layers of the Dutch public domain, including national ministries (Rijksoverheid, VWS), provinces (Groningen, Flevoland, Zeeland), municipalities (Amsterdam, Borsele), water boards (Zuiderzeeland), public health bodies (GGD Utrecht), and educational institutions (Deltion). The firm reports a 25-year track record and has supported more than 40 commissions and advisory bodies, including high-profile assignments such as the Adviescollege Stikstofproblematiek and the Deskundigencommissie Hervormingsagenda Jeugd.

Lysias delivers work through five integrated service propositions: Excellent Committee Support (secretarial and process management for external commissions), Distinctive Research (policy research and evaluations), Outcome-focused Implementation (program management), Smart Financing (public financing advisory), and Future-proof Organisation (governance and organisational consulting). The firm additionally provides interim management and customised training. Delivery relies on a multidisciplinary team of approximately 40-45 senior advisors and interim managers — including public administration experts, economists, anthropologists, legal experts, and historians — operating from Amersfoort with field-based engagements across the Netherlands. The firm holds ISO 9001 certification, the Accredited Consulting Practice (ACP) certificate from Ooa/ICMCI, and registration in Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance's Kwaliteitsregister Organisatieadvies.

Lysias generates revenue through custom professional services engagements with Dutch public sector clients, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no productised tiers. Distribution is exclusively direct: enterprise field sales relationships with government buyers, supported by a content-marketing programme (insights articles on the firm website), Lysias Talks (webinars and podcast series), periodic newsletters, and employer branding through the 'werken bij Lysias' careers page. The firm is privately held by its founders and partners, with no external institutional investment or private equity backing, and is governed by a Supervisory Board chaired (effective June 2026) by Desiree Uitzetter alongside members Dorine Manson and Adnan Tekin. Geographic scope is domestic Netherlands only.
