Criteria of Professional Constellation
In our experience, the following is required for the good management of system constellations in the organizational area:
-
thinking in systemic-constructivist approaches
-
theoretical and practical knowledge about working in and with organisations
-
a sound knowledge of the theoretical and methodological foundations of constellations
-
process-oriented working along emerging phenomena
-
distinctive fine sensory perception and intuition
-
the clear formulation of the assignment, the appropriate settings and the integration into ongoing processes
-
the observance of a meaningful and useful coupling of constellation results to the order and the goals of the customer
-
personal integrity and autonomy; an attitude of impartiality and appreciation
-
the ability to detach oneself from one's own intentions and images
-
Clarity towards the customer regarding the possibilities and limits of constellations
Professionalism
Impartiality, neutrality, sense of responsibility, awareness, recognition and modesty are expressions that describe the professional disposition of a constellation facilitator.
This professional disposition becomes clear during the following practices:
-
Clarification of task and context during a systemic interview
-
Focusing on helpful and beneficial solutions before, during and after the constellation process
-
Transparency of the working hypotheses
-
Respecting agreed boundaries
-
Working syntactically and as far as possible, with minimal interpretation
-
Extensive follow-up discussions after each constellation
Competent work with System Constellations also takes into account further aspects:
-
The solutions are the result of the client ('systems') (own) efforts; they develop from the inside outwards. They are not "implemented" via "interventions" from a knowledgeable consultant
-
System Constellations are to be viewed as a dialogical group performance; with the repertoire in her/his "toolbox", the consultant merely contributes helpful recommendations
-
The consultant is also available for questions and follow-up work
-
Confidentiality is taken as understood
-
The constellation facilitator works significantly on themselves with regular further training, supervision, intervision, and self-reflection
