Philosophy
Our work and methods are based on a humanistic view of the world and of people. That means during changes, such as in the course of planned and supported organizational development, the subject of consideration is not just technical and organizational structures and processes, but also – and especially – interpersonal patterns of communication and behavior as well as the standards, values, and power arrangements in place within an organization.
This humanistic view of the world and people, combined with a constructivist approach that also allows for “other realities,” forms the basis for our work. After all, every individual unconsciously constructs his or her own reality – and only if we understand and accept this we will be able to change our own behavior in order to reach our goals despite various kinds of resistance.
