In this section, you will find papers describing the various approaches, tools, methods, instruments, architectures and designs applied in our daily practise of systemic consulting. Some examples of the application in client projects might be added for illustration purposes.
Organisational Readiness Check
Organisational Readiness Check (ORC) is a new approach that evaluates and improves organisation’s capabilities through posing three essential questions for realising a desirable future: What can you do now? What can you do next? Will this be enough? Designed to be fully customised, the ORC fosters the implicit knowledge and unleashes all resources of the organisation, guiding it through a sustainable change. Offering a wide choice of methods such as Micro Anthropology, Workshops, Focus Groups, Systemic Inquiry, and Situation Rooms, the ORC proposes a viable course of action with the goal to support organisation in thriving for excellence and creating the next practice.
Innovate Change
Innovate Change approach aims to bring creativity and playfulness to the practice of change management. It offers an impressive variety of the relevant models, methods, and instruments of change, presented in a conceptual and unconventional way on the basis of the logic of a periodic table with categorised elements. Innovate Change can be implemented as a workshop format with hands-on case studies, PowerPoint karaoke, and Subgroup work. Bringing together knowledge, creativity and playfulness, Innovate Change opens the opportunity to experience change management from an entirely new perspective.
Explorative Culture Analysis
Explorative Culture Analysis (ECA) is an approach to support decision-making and initiative-planning. With its explorative character based on the concept of Micro Anthropology, it allows gathering real life information and knowledge through generative interviews. The aim is to open up and tap into a field of collective intelligence and knowledge-making. The interviewees tell their story and their unique perspective, thereby providing access to their distinctive knowledge and expertise on the specific field of interest.
GRPI
Based on Noel Tichy’s model for team development, a GRPI workshop offers facilitation of teambuilding processes. The approach covers all dimensions of team development: Goals as foundation of teamwork, Roles as responsibilities and tasks of each team member, Processes as activities enabling the achievement of team’s goals, and Interpersonal Relationships as the basis of trust and open communication within the team. Offering a comprehensive approach to develop teams, GRPI supports organisations in setting up effective cooperation and enhances teamwork experiences.
Systemic Management Audits
Systemic Management Audits allow triggering management development from a systemic perspective. Based on self-observation and self-description of the management, Systemic Management Audits overcome the inherent deficits of conventional audits and address both the individual and the entire system levels of the organisation. Supporting organisations in crisis and change situations, Systemic Management Audits initiate a reflective improvement process and create opportunities for conscious self-innovation.
