Organizational Constellations —or applied systemic/business constellations— are a variant of the Hellingerian method primarily developed by Gunthard Weber and Insa Sparrer-Varga von Kibéd starting in the 1990s. They apply systemic principles to companies, teams, departments, and organizations of any size.
Transferred Principles: Each organization has its own system with its three laws equivalent to the orders of love —belonging (who has been part of the company), order (hierarchy, seniority, function), and balance (exchange between what is given and received)—. When these principles are respected, the system functions; when they are broken, symptoms appear: chronic conflicts, high turnover, project blockages, recurrent work accidents.
Typical Applications: Analysis of team blockages, integration of companies after mergers, exploration of complex strategic decisions, conflicts between departments, family successions in businesses, vocational dilemmas of the founder.
Important Limitation: Organizational Constellations do not replace technical, financial, or management analyses. They operate in the systemic dimension of organizations, complementing classic management tools.
