A person is considered healthy if their organs are functioning properly and they have enough energy available to react consciously, curiously and flexibly to crises and if they enjoy change and contact with their social environment. A healthy person is able to see more than one possibility, take different perspectives and make decisions. Healthy people are those who can strike a balance between order and disorder, between preservation and change.<\/p>\n

This understanding also appropriately describes the conditions of \u201chealthy\u201d organizations. They are successful and productive when routine and disruption are not mutually exclusive, but when the members of the organization have sufficient awareness and energy (in the form of financial resources, motivation, creativity, knowledge, etc.) to deal flexibly with crises, external uncertainty and complexity.<\/p>\n

The organization’s own reality and culture are important players in the development of a problem, and at the same time they are sources for its solution: We are supported by the experience that there is a vital core in every organization that wants to develop into the future – whatever that may look like.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"How we understand consulting","description":"

Situations can arise in organizations that suggest the need to question the status quo with external advice and to integrate new things well and appropriately. We make our experience, our knowledge and, above all, ourselves as perceptive and feeling people available for the change process. All of our senses are involved, because only with them can we come into full contact with the client and enter their world. We allow ourselves to trust our sensations in contact and use them for our work just as much as the figures, data and facts available to us. We work with and on the characteristics that are natural to the organization. We integrate routines and structures that provide stability and, to a large extent, guarantee the functioning and the desired results. They are a valuable starting point for our work.<\/p>\n

We explore the organization and describe its idiosyncrasies, its working patterns and its resources so that it can draw on them for the change process. We supplement what has been lost or is not present and set counterpoints so that the organization can rediscover itself.<\/p>\n

As consultants, we are in a constant balancing movement – sometimes closer to and more within the organization and sometimes further away and more outside of it. This kind of flexible demarcation between client and counsellor enables us to establish trust through closeness on the one hand, and to make important distinctions from the client’s organization through greater distance on the other. Here, we have the widest view and can see and name things that the client cannot see or express in certain situations.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Consciously shaping change","description":"

Change does not come easily. It is often crises and painful experiences that allow us to let go of old behaviors and develop new, more productive attitudes. Transformation processes in organizations are therefore rarely harmonious and require conscious design by the members of the organization and the consultants.<\/p>\n

We are convinced that creative adaptation to new requirements cannot be achieved through more management, planning and control alone. Instead, questions of meaning, relationship quality and leadership in the organization as a living system come to the fore.<\/p>\n

As a global consulting firm, we are familiar with the trends and instruments of organizational development, management consulting and coaching. Nevertheless, every consulting process is unique because every organization and its members have their own values, speeds and secrets. Como combines professional and process expertise in consulting. Como consultants do not approach their clients as better managers, but are experts in setting learning processes in motion and designing their framework conditions in such a way that they contribute to the organization’s self-transformation and to increasing internal solution competence.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"What guides us: Sources and schools of thought for our work","description":"

As organizational consultants and hosts of training in systemic organizational development, we see ourselves in the tradition of various sources and schools of thought that give us orientation and guide us in our work. The synthesis of systemic consulting and Gestalt therapy is fundamental to our work. While as systemic consultants we focus on the connecting patterns in an organization, as Gestalt consultants we are attentive to the depth of contact with the other person.<\/p>\n

In addition to these supporting pillars, we continuously train ourselves as consultants and cover a wide range of consulting approaches and methods, such as agile methods, Theory U, psychodrama, constellation work according to SySt, diversity-oriented organizational development and future thinking.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"What we are currently observing in the world of organizations","description":"

We observe that our clients are massively affected by the major social transformation processes. This applies to creative start-ups, large companies and non-profit organizations as well as public administrations and universities. Although the causes differ, all organizations have one thing in common: their environment is changing rapidly and drastically.<\/p>\n

The speed and complexity of change is increasing, leading to the following paradox: with increasing complexity and uncertainty about the future, flexibility and adaptability are in demand. At the same time, the need for security and orientation is increasing.<\/p>\n"}]},"yoast_head":"\nConsulting Philosophy - Como Consult<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/management.como-consult.de\/en\/about-us\/consulting-philosophy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Consulting Philosophy -
