Lenneke Aalbers

Lenneke is a partner in the Reos Partners The Hague office.

Lenneke’s focus is on social and business innovation and learning. She is always fascinated to support people and organisations to connect with their deeper wisdom, talents, vision and actions. Her aim is to create awareness of the fact that a richness of opinions, perspectives and wisdom is available to help people, as they work through complex systemic and social issues.

She is currently involved in the development of a platform for social & business innovation around sustainability in the Netherlands and Belgium. She is co-designing and co-facilitating change labs in which stakeholders work and learn together in creative and action-oriented ways to address complex challenges within and across their systems. She’s involved in several national and international programs and networks – both within and across organisations – which support the development of leadership and innovation.

Lenneke’s background is in pedagogic and business studies (Bachelor and Msc), and she has completed post-graduate programs and courses at Haagse Hogeschool, Radboud University Nijmegen, MIT Boston and elsewhere. After different management and consulting roles in organisational contexts, she became an independent consultant and interim manager. For over twenty years her activities have included leading strategy and organisational change processes, learning and development programs and complex collaboration and co-creation challenges. She has worked in and across many different sectors, networks and organisations, including international food companies, technical engineering and power companies, health and governmental organisations and social building and housing organisations.

Her home base is the 2000 year old Dutch city of Nijmegen and Greenwich, London, where she shares her life with her partner, her son and her daughter.
