infosyon 
academy

14 infosyon members met in Berlin and discussed the topic of internal organizational constellations (constellation managers and deputies are employed in the organization) and its importance for infosyon. The participants then dived deep into the logic of the research when they evaluated a prepared research constellation in depth.

infosyon members from Italy, Poland, Argentina, Brazil, Austria and Germany met in a smaller group on September 18th to further their education. We experimented with constellation in the context of Theory U and supported a Polish research work on female entrepreneurs with an exploratory constellation.

Thanks to Corona, the 7th academy event did not take place in Vienna as planned, but online on May 22, 2020. We were able to experience what it is like to perceive a virtual community with 40 participants from 10 countries and to make online constellations. It was an inspiring start to global online communication within the association.

With the 2nd international academy meeting on 27./28. September 2019, in which 22 constellation leaders from 7 countries took part, we expanded our format. On the first day, we worked directly with partners from business and demonstrated various presentation formats on practical concerns from Beiersdorf and Siemens. On the second day, the group developed their own themes and experimented with new formats.

After feedback from the participants, the academy meeting turned into a collegial training event. Perhaps this title expresses even better that it is about learning from each other and experimenting with each other. That was particularly successful in Vienna, perhaps also thanks to the stimulating energy of the Bildungshaus, which was designed in the style of the artist Hundertwasser. 20 constellation leaders from Germany and Austria met for the first time across association borders to determine how dynamic there is in all constellation associations.

The 4th academy event took place on 28./29. October 2018 at Ansbach University of Applied Sciences at the invitation of Dr. Jürgen Rippel. Again, 22 participants met to devote themselves to the topics brought from their own constellation worlds in a collegial and inspiring process. The 4th event has been summarized in a video by Helge Max Jahns, which can be accessed further down the page.

On April 25, 2018, the third infosyon Academy event took place in Wiesloch near Heidelberg. In the run-up to the conference 20 years of organizational constellation - where are the kites flying to now 20 participants from 13 different countries met for the first international infosyon Academy event. In line with the idea of self-organized collegial learning, there was no agenda for this event either. The international group let its themes emerge, some of which could be linked to the previous themes.

On the 27th/28th October saw the 2nd event of the infosyon Academy at Reutlingen University take place with a group of 14 experienced constellation leaders at the invitation of the two professors Carmen Finckh and Kerstin Reich. Nine of the participants also took part in the founding event. The group followed up on the topics of the first event, dealt primarily with the approach to science and practiced living the format of the self-organizing, co-creative design process.

After interested and lively exchanges and several constellations, a common basic understanding of the work of the Academy emerged. The final question Should the academy be founded was unequivocally answered with Yes! by those present. answered.
