WisdomThinking® Organizational Consulting

In 19 days, the WisdomThinking® Organizational Consulting training makes you a wise pilot who guides clients' organizations through the heavy waters of change processes. Using the WisdomThinking® method, you will not only help clients to quickly and comprehensively gain the necessary overview for their specific situation and, on this basis, to gain a good orientation, find harmonious solutions and make safe decisions with a clear conscience. Rather, you also guide your clients through the actual change processes, i.e. give the implementation of the decision or solution for the organization a framework that is as lean as it is stable, so that the change can become reality with as little friction and time loss as possible.

 

 

 

Why organizational consulting with WisdomThinking® ?

 

Change processes are as common as they are difficult. But often they fail because of the way they are accompanied. Classically, a consultant makes a mostly number-based analysis, a change proposal and then leaves the clients alone with the implementation, Often the clients' executives are overwhelmed by this task, especially if the resistance and the corporate culture are not considered in the process. Other consultants try to take all stakeholders by the hand and initiate a collective change process, which unfortunately often gets stuck or frayed. Or, for all the benefits to the organization, it simply takes longer than the driving force for change can sustain.

 

Tailored flexible approach: In our experience, it is most helpful to customize the change approach to the organization and its specific situation. For example, if there is a great common concern, the change can usually be well designed in an open and collaborative way with all the benefits that entails. If, on the other hand, the concern is not so viable, more directive approaches may be the only realistic way forward, but should then be combined with design elements that give the organization the space to integrate the "forced" changes. And, of course, there are many variations and in-betweens to this.

 

WisdomThinking® Organizational Consulting sees itself as a wise pilot that can guide an organization through a wide variety of waters, depending on needs and conditions. WT Organizational Consulting has a universal starting point of the work with the question of the concern, but thereby no fixed scheme. On the contrary, the concern serves as a fine gauge of the existing change power and direction. Depending on the concern, different paths can then be taken and graduated measures can be taken. The wisdom of the approach lies precisely in not breaking everything down into a single moulding, but rather in individually deriving the most promising path from the entire field of forces and their interactions. This avoids effort and failure. Unfortunately, this cannot always work miracles, even if it occasionally looks like it.

 

Target group: The WisdomThinking® Organizational Consulting training is aimed at internal and external organizational developers, coaches, managers and anyone who wants to work with the WisdomThinking® method for organizations. The training teaches in 17 days the confident application of the WisdomThinking® method for the work of the (future) organizational developer. The training teaches all the important methods and skills for working with organizations, including the special challenges of perceiving the influences in the field of action, working with the power of organizations' concerns, and guiding confidently through the entire process. Special attention is given to the specific skills of the facilitator in this work such as being all-participatory, focusing on concerns and action while being aware of all forces in the field and their interactions.
