Welcome!
Which services are offered by Albema?
Albema was founded by me, Alfred Rensen, with the aim of supporting people, companies and organisations. This includes clarifying personal and entrepreneurial goals, organising work and development processes up to the realization of specific goals as well as overcoming obstacles and conflicts along the way.
Albema offers consultancy and moderation services in the context of personal and organisational development. People are always paramount along the way. During the consulting process, potentials will be pointed out. Furthermore, specific learning and changing processes targeting the creation and strengthening of skills and competencies will be initiated.
Which methods will be used?
Depending on the results of the first contact meetings, which focus on:
- Specifying concerns and targets
- Introducing involved persons
- Agreeing on the procedure of the consulting and/or training process
I use, among other things, these methods and instruments:
- Human Connector
- HBDI® Analyse
Human Connector
Since Albema was founded, I have been bringing contacts together , which, with my help, created valuable synergies. Building bridges within Europe I can use my knowledge of German, English, Dutch or French languages and it was a great help in many International Projects such as tRHEINco or Strasus.
I look forward for helping you and build bridges together in Western Europe and the world! Use this 40 years of European logistics experience!
Potential analysis & personality development
As an instrument to achieve this, the HBDI® Thinking Style Assessment is used. This method is based on the Whole Brain® Thinking Concept which determines thinking style preferences of people.
Results of an HBDI® thinking style assessment
- Minimising fluctuations, increasing staff retention
- Understanding and acknowleding mindsests and attitudes
- Realising own potentials and thinking styles
- Increasing the success of yourself and the team
- Overcoming thinking style barriers in teams
- Reducing disputes and realising synergistic effects
The Whole Brain® Thinking Concept is a globally established model for the analysis of potentials and the development of personalities, teams and companies.
Building on this, the HBDI® thinking style assessment can be used reasonably in any business division, both for individuals and teams.
Even out of the business context, the HBDI® Thinking Style Assessment can be applied successfully for individuals. This includes …
- Determining your own strengths
- Developing your own personality
- Finding your own goals in the job
- Enhancing learning beahior and strategy
About me - Alfred Rensen
I always approach my customers as equals and respect their personal views and opinions as well their own wisdom. Closeness to nature, humor, directness and clarity are important to me.
Some of my principles:
- You have to live your change
- Without implementation, recognition is worthless
- If you want to change something, you will find ways to do it
If you are not willing, you will find reasons not to do it - Phantasy is more important than knowledge — Knowledge is limited
My values:
- Honesty
- Transparency
- luing individuals
Looking back means doubling difficulties;
looking ahead means doubling opportunities.
Alfred Rensen

Customer opinions about HBDI® Analysis
I am very grateful for all the fruitful and enriching talks, suggestions and approaches. I deeply hope we stay in contact and there will be another one-on-one conversation as well as the opportunity to tackle the topics: communication, information, potentials and company development with you.

I, too, was happy about our conversations. It was a highlight of the past week, because you are always positive and optimistic, however you are not lacking a certain level of consequence. As said, it would be great if we could incorporate this new style with your help.

Dear Alfred, one hour ago I got home safely! It was a very intense but helpful weekend for me!
Thank you for helping me to help myself!

“To stay or to go? What to do?” So many questions, so many feelings. They were threatening to tear me apart. It felt so good to talk about them, being asked the right questions. Comprehensive, from different points of view. During the time of my separation Alfred was there for me as well, gave me counsel, moderating, fair and competent. Not only because of that I appreciate Alfred and am much obliged. Because it is good, the way it is now. Good for everybody involved, that is my conviction.
Martin Kemper
There is one very important point for me. That is why I write you again: I believe that what you are doing for the company Obermann is on point. Since you are here, I see that something is happening… and, in my opinion, it is changing in the right direction. You are a great person!

Customer opinions about Human Connector services
Early on it showed that Mr Rensen is well interlinked in politics, economics and society and knows how to bring people from different fields together. His exceptionally multifaceted CV including most diverse industry sectors helps him to see positions from different angles. This enriches a discourse significantly.

Through a project initiated by the province of Gelderland, I came into contact with Albema. Their vision on the logistics sector really appealed to me and this led to a renewed collaboration within another logistics project. This project required support from both the Dutch and German (regional) governments. With their extensive network (skills), Albema has opened many political doors for us in a short period of time. Their years of (logistical) experience and persuasiveness have even brought the project to the attention of the highest regional and national ministries in Germany. Albema is therefore very good at making interpersonal connections and bringing people together.

The cooperation with Alfred Rensen provided new momentum to a project that was struggling at that time. His professional network and his motivating argumentation were an important factor for the success of the project.

During the last three years HBCB was involved in the execution of the Euregio project tRHEINco.
The aim of tRHEINco was to establish a modal shift from transport via road to water for continental cargo. Transport via water has already established a strong market position for maritime cargo but the transport of continental cargo happens almost entirely via road.
Transport via water is more environmental friendly as transport via roads, so a lot can be gained in this respect by a modal shift from road to water.
HBCB was in charge of the work to detect possibilities for this modal shift and organize a pilot to show that transport of continental cargo via water is viable. The aspects require a thorough insight in the market of continental cargo and the required transports.
To proceed in this HBCB contacted Mr Alfred Rensen of Albema. Albema accepted a commission to help tRHEINco in this respect. It proved to be that Mr Alfred Rensen has a long standing know how and experience in shippers and transport of continental cargo across Europe. He has an extensive network therein and this resulted in the facts that he not only found a relevant company (Aviko at Steenderen) to cooperate but also made it possible that a pilot was actually organized to demonstrate that this transport via water is feasible.
Without the assistance of Mr Alfred Rensen and his hands on know how of shippers, transport of continental cargo and possibilities for modal shift it would have been very difficult to succeed in this.
