Business constellation is an organizational diagnostic tool that has been around for decades, but that is finding its way to the region only now. It can aid organizations reveal the hidden dynamics in key areas of the organization that could be impacting its success and performance.
At Mischkat, business constellation is delivered as a 2-day exercise through which all the factors and stakeholders influencing the business or institution are mapped in a diagnostic space (e.g. founders, successors, certain teams, certain departments or even specific individuals, banks, suppliers, end users, etc). Each is represented or rather role played by individuals, to reveal the hidden dynamics caused by the interplay of the vibes of the respective intended factors or stakeholder.
This process gives an idea about the nature of undercurrents involved in the business or the entity, how they impact each other, and what shifts and changes need to be made in the existing structure/order/ hierarchy so that the business can achieve the desired outcome. It would be then left with the client to execute the recommendations that emerge from this process. Mischkat also offers organization development consultancy as an option for clients who wish to receive not only the diagnosis but also a strategic plan of action formulated by organization development experts in light of the diagnosis.
The advantage over regular business consultancy is that this process works with an inside-outside approach which is the bottom line for all sustainable change. This process complements other conventional organization-development plans and strategies by giving the client the additional perspective of invisible dynamics that could either bolster or derail the conventional interventions.
Expected Benefits
The process offers the client the opportunity to look “behind the scenes” or “under the surface” and understand the undercurrents that are at play. The real advantage is that we are able to see the patterns at the energetic level, and check what needs to be moved around and how so that all energies involved are aligned and represent the best possible scenario for the business.
Inputs from this process will enable the client to make real time shifts and changes in their existing structure in all spheres of the business.
Mischkat also offers Organization Development consultancy as an optional component. Cooperating with internationally certified business coaches and organization development experts, the client has the option to benefit from organizational constellation as an end-to-end solution to the challenge presented to the organization.
