A constellation is an innovative technique for mapping the patterns of connection within and between systems in a simple enough way to reveal hidden dynamics. By bringing these hidden dynamics to light, we can make corrective readjustments that benefit the whole system. While we so often we work on what is explicit, known and visible, and attend to issues in organisations rationally, it is what is implicit, not known, not expressed, and not always in the rational domain that keeps individuals, teams and whole enterprises stuck.
Constellations work best on the sorts of organisational issues that are difficult to pin down, understand or act upon – for example: problems that keep recurring, no matter what resource is focused upon them; situations where people have dissipated energy, a lack of focus and direction; when we are moving into the unknown and have no benchmarks; to guide choices in a highly-charged, volatile or emergent situation.
Constellations work is not just systemic – it also combines somatic and solutions-focused practices. Unusually, the insights that come from a constellation are not derived intellectually, “from the neck up” but from our overall felt sense of a situation. Central to the use of constellations is the practical application of intuitive intelligence, emotional intelligence and collective intelligence.
Further information about the practice of Organisational Constellations can be found in the articles on the “Resources” page of this website.
Because Constellations is so experiential, the best way to learn about it is to experience it! Come along to one of the workshops I run regularly or join a Practice & Learning group for support in facilitating your own constellations:

Practice & Learning Set (PALS)
This is the first of a 4-part Organisational
Constellations training programme.
We will establish an ongoing Practice & Learning
Set (PALS) for people who want to understand how
to facilitate a Constellation and how to integrate
thinking from this innovative discipline into their
everyday work. The group quickly becomes a
powerful community of practice that supports your
professional development.
The learning about Constellations will be highly
practical and experiential, using real-life issues
brought by you as participants. To ensure we work in
depth in an atmosphere of trust and safety, the set
will comprise around 10 people and will not admit
new members once we have started.
