Henneman Strategies BV is a consultancy and coaching company for communication and reputation management and was founded in 1998. Director Maria Henneman says: ‘I like to compare a company or institution’s reputation to a shell, it is beautifully made and fits snugly as a house. The shield grows with time, but is vulnerable to internal and external influences. The same applies to your reputation. You carefully build it for years and by one event it is damaged’. ‘We help to safeguard and protect the good name of companies and institutions. Whether it concerns advice, research or training, or a dialogue & discussion meetings organised by us, all assignments are performed accurate, quickly, inventively and discreetly’.
The teams from Henneman Strategies contain advisors, trainers and researchers. Top-rated professionals in their fields. To be able to work efficiently, we work with a network of collaboration partners: Helma Coolman communication coach, Job Frieszo media specialist, Erik van der Liet marketing and communication advisor from What comes Next and Frank Neervoort communication advisor from Off the Grid. Camera and video production is done by Rombout Verschoor Video&Projecten and Stique Media by Dick Rokebrand. For meetings and campaigns we work together with PlusNauta by Bram Nauta. Assignments with a forensic character are done by Bart Bruin and Paul Koedijk from research bureau Integis BV. Pauline Zeij is the driving force behind the secretariat of Henneman Strategies BV.
Since its founding, over 200 national and international clients have used our services. Customers from a commercial or public sector background, from various branches: finance, economics/innovation, labour market, healthcare, education and science, justice and safety, infrastructure, public housing and spatial planning, foreign affairs.
