Systemic Business Constellations is an executive coaching method used for organizational development, leadership consultation, conflict resolution, organizational restructuring, innovation management, change management, financial planning etc. in an organizational or corporate environment.

Business Constellations is based on the general principles of systemic thinking, and the technique is a direct development of Bert Hellinger’s work with Systemic Family Constellations.

A business constellation helps solve difficult issues by spatially displaying an organization with the help of participants representing a number of different elements of an organization. 

Representatives can stand for employees, managers, owners, departments, products, customers, market competitors, governmental authorities, as well as abstract concepts (e.g. goals, resources, profit) etc. 

They are positioned spatially so as to make underlying structures and relational patterns accessible and visible.

In the course of a business constellation, representatives tend to become aware of previously unavailable information – both objective and subjective information.

In a business constellation, relational patterns between structural units, outcome results, attitudes of people, underlying entanglements within the organization etc. can be brought to light, various hypotheses can be explored, and different solutions or decisions can be tested.

Subsequently, clients and other participants can process their newly gained insights in a verbal discussion.
