Our History

In 1978 the internal consultancy department of AKZO (currently AKZO Nobel) was outsourced and was given the name Rijnconsult. This background has guaranteed us a good position in the process industry and with the larger Dutch firms. In the ‘80’s and ‘90’s we took over some small companies and diversified our portfolio of activities. In 2000 Rijnconsult was taken over by Ordina, a large Dutch ICT-company, but in 2005, after an employee buy-out, we became an independent company again. We have a solid network in Dutch society and have an excellent understanding of Dutch culture. This is one of the many reasons we have been so successful in implementing change and new strategies within all kinds of organisations.

Industries

Our track record shows involvement with the major players in all kinds of industries and government organisations. Our experience and expertise in collaboration within public private partnerships is well appreciated on an international level. Besides we are very well equipped to improve the organisation of local governments, management of banks, supply chain management in agrifood and management development for multinational firms.

Services 

Our core business is to implement strategies. We do this by combining management consultancy, temporary management and staff development. Depending on our client’s needs we offer one or more of these services. In our consultancy activities we are at our best in areas such as process based management/leanmanagement, supply chain management, strategy development and leadership & HRM. Our “interim-managers” (turn-around managers) are usually general managers with vast experience in many areas. Our activities in the field of staff development include assessments for managers, psychological tests, training activities (including consultancy skills for non-consultants), designing and facilitating management development programs.
