“…Over the last decades, the systemic organisational constellation (SOC) method spread around the globe and became more and more commonly used among consultants in diverse businesses and organisational settings (Birkenkrahe 2008;Burchardt 2015;Groth 2004). Systemic organisational constellations aim to make individuals more aware of their social context and allow them to explore perspectives other than their own on organisations, teams or any group of people.…”

“…Systemic organisational constellations aim to make individuals more aware of their social context and allow them to explore perspectives other than their own on organisations, teams or any group of people. For this reason, the method is currently being used-among others-for team coaching, organisational change and transformation processes, leadership development, and stakeholder analyses (Burchardt 2015;Kopp and Martinuzzi 2013;Weinhold et al 2014). For instance, when team members become more aware of the social context of the team and the organisation, and gain insight in perspectives of others, this may contribute to an improvement in team functioning and support positive change in an organisation.…”

Systemic constellations applied in organisations: a systematic review

This article—published in the Journal Gruppe. Interaktion. Organisation.— presents a systematic overview of the current empirical evidence of the effectiveness of the systemic constellation method when applied in organisations.Although the systemic constellation method is increasingly used for team coaching, organisational development and transformation processes, among others, scientific evidence on the effectiveness and quality of this method is still scarce. This may hamper the broader implementation of a potentially useful approach. Altogether, ten electronic databases were searched up to January, 2020. Multiple languages, qualitative and quantitative designs, and academic and grey literature were included. The search resulted in the identification of 79 potentially relevant publications, seven of which were prospective and 13 were retrospective effectiveness studies in terms of organisational outcomes. Only two of the seven prospective studies used a controlled design. This review concludes that the empirical evidence on the systemic organisational constellation method points toward a potentially effective intervention in the organisational context. However, it is too early to make firm conclusions as the number of studies was small and quality of the studies was low in general.The present systematic review summarises the literature on the systemic constellation method applied in organisations. It offers coaches and consultants insights into the method from a scientific perspective and describes potential mechanisms of action regarding the intervention. The results of the review provide a solid basis for future research and give directions for new studies to support quality improvement and help us better understand the factors influencing effectiveness.

“…It follows the logic of diverse actors and groups of actors being part of the planning process (Nuissl & Heinrichs, 2011). The methodology is inspired by its application in the field of organisational sciences (Birkenkrahe, 2009;Wade, 2004;Burchardt, 2015;Weber, 2000;Müller-Christ, 2013). Particularly in business constellations, the systemic constellation approach is a seen as a 'solution-focused process, which helps leaders of organisations to identify the complex, often informal, relationships and inter-dependencies within their organisation and to develop a deeper understanding about the underlying dynamics in a very time-and cost-efficient manner' (Burchardt, 2015, p. 101).…”

Systemic Constellations in Spatial Planning Processes. A Method to Visualise Questions of Power and Cultural Peculiarities?

Coming from a systemic point of view, systemic constellations focus on the complex interplay of different elements in order to come to a better understanding of the whole system. Spatial planning, which involves complex decision-making in an uncertain environment, is eventually able to profit from such a different methodology. In this context, the aim of the article is to implement systemic constellations as method for spatial research in two different ways: first, to visualise questions of power in planning processes, and, second, to visualise cultural influences in planning processes. The article concludes that the method of systemic constellations serves to visualise questions of power and is able to highlight important differences at a glance, even though this method does not meet all of the scientific requirements academia asks for. The specific contribution is that this method will be able to enrich the dialogue between theory and practice for a daily use, to make complex problems clearly visible and easier to handle.

“…A promising teaching method to make learners more aware about their tacit knowledge of their social context and socialisation is the Systemic Constellation method (Arnold & Prescher, 2017;Burchardt, 2015;Kopp & Martinuzzi, 2013;Weinhold et al, 2014). This experiential learning method in groups stimulates reflection for the individual and the group (more details on the method will follow).…”

“…A systemic constellation training is often performed with a group of 10-30 learners led by a trained facilitator. The method is already widely used in business settings for transformation processes, team development, and leadership training (Burchardt, 2015;Weinhold et al, 2014) and has also been applied in education (Kopp & Martinuzzi, 2013).…”

Introduction of a new teaching method to support Professional Identify Formation in medical students

Professional Identify Formation is regarded as fundamental to medical education. It involves a process of socialisation where knowledge is often acquired unconsciously via social interaction. Concrete teachings to support and mediate this socialisation process are difficult to implement, because of the implicit nature of the transferred knowledge. Before effective reflection can start, the implicit knowledge has to become explicit. The authors argue that training based on the Systemic Constellation method may be a promising way to support Professional Identify Formation among medical students, by increasing students’ awareness of their own socialisation process and the implicit knowledge that they have acquired. By visualising their social context with a group of students, the method is effective in making explicit the social context and the values, beliefs, perspectives that are present. This creates the possibility to discuss these values, beliefs, perspectives and explore differences, and stimulates individual and group reflection. The method is already widely used in business settings, but not yet in the medical education setting. This article presents how this new training method was implemented in the undergraduate medical curriculum of the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, and discusses its feasibility, acceptance and perceived usefulness by medical students.
