Leadership People
Culture

HR is more than just a supporting function –

it is one of wthe central levers for business success. We support our clients in all areas of people management and organizational development – with hands-on consulting, deep expertise, and a clear focus on what is feasible. 

 

Organizations do not change – the people within them do. That is why at Lynius, we integrate topics such as transformation, M&A, and restructuring with leadership development and coaching. 

 

Our goal: to create sustainable change and open up new spaces for people.

What we do:

Shaping Transformations
Whether restructuring, M&A, or cultural change – we can support you with an integrated approach that equally considers economic and human aspects.

 

Leadership Advisory
We answer with you the crucial “Who?” question for top positions, support you in strategic hiring decisions, and provide development, sparring, and coaching – all while remaining independent of the traditional “search” business.

 

HR Consulting
We offer comprehensive consulting and support in all key aspects of human resources management – from HR operating models to the application of generative AI.

How we work:

Our consultants bring deep practical experience, combined with subject-matter expertise and strategic foresight – and they are not “tooligans” delivering standardized solutions. 

 

We work individually with CEOs, CHROs, and HR teams or in co-creation with business and HR leaders – depending on the task and objectives. Our focus is on enabling organizations and their leaders to take action – with sustainable solutions, a pragmatic approach, and real implementation strength.
