About Us The Henne Group is a full service market research company with offices in San Francisco and New York. Our philosophy is to bring meaning and actionable results to our clients. Our staff brings years of experience and know-how to any project we undertake. But how exactly can we help you and your business? Our business is research. Over the course of the last 20 years, The Henne Group has recruited and conducted thousands of focus groups, in-depth interviews, usability test interviews, telephone interviews, and mail and Internet surveys. We've worked with clients including universities, associations, government agencies, businesses and not-for-profit organizations. We have the ability to handle qualitative and quantitative projects that vary widely in size and complexity. Many of our projects are large-scale undertakings with difficult-to-implement procedures. At the same time, we are also highly experienced in handling smaller, "more routine" undertakings. So whatever your research needs are, we'll be able to tailor a solution that's right for your needs. Why not take a look at what we do, some of our recent clients and projects, even meet the team and maybe drop us an email. We'd be delighted to help you with your next research project!

Our Philosophy Our philosophy is to bring meaning and actionable results to our clients. THG staff brings years of experience and know-how to any project we undertake. With all projects, we believe that: · Frequent and honest communication between everyone is one of the basic principals to running a project. · Project management is more than picking up the telephone and finding out how many interviews have been completed the night before or how many focus group participants have been recruited. It is digging a little deeper, and discovering potential pitfalls and problems before they become a problem. · Budgets are paramount, and it is important that a project be managed so that in the end, it does not cost more than originally envisioned. If for some reason it does cost more, you are informed, and are an active participant in making the decision to increase the budget or reduce the scope of work. · Timelines are important. We will not agree to do something if we do not think the task of work can be achieved in the span of time envisioned. At THG, we make every effort to keep to our originally agreed upon timeline - and if for some reason the timeline cannot be met, the client is informed immediately.
