Behind every business problem is an unseen system that holds the key to resolution. Are you ready to see what’s going on?
In today’s fast-paced corporate world, challenges such as leadership misalignment, recurring team conflicts, and stalled business growth often seem like isolated issues. However, beneath these visible struggles lies a deeper systemic pattern that influences organisational success. This is where Organisational Constellation Therapy comes in, a powerful methodology that reveals hidden dynamics and restores balance within businesses.
What is Organisational Constellation Therapy?
Organisational Constellation Therapy is a systemic, phenomenological approach designed to uncover invisible structures affecting businesses, institutions, and teams. It allows leaders, entrepreneurs, and consultants to gain clarity on the deeper forces at play, such as unspoken loyalties, unresolved past events, and misalignments in authority and purpose.
Unlike traditional business consulting or leadership coaching, constellation work bypasses surface-level problem-solving and dives directly into the root causes. Visually mapping organisational systems it helps in exposing exclusions, outdated loyalties, and unconscious blocks, ultimately guiding businesses toward sustainable solutions and forward momentum.

When Do You Need a Business Constellation?
A business constellation is beneficial when:
- Your organisation feels stuck despite multiple change efforts.
- Key decisions keep getting delayed, overridden, or sabotaged.
- High-performing teams experience burnout, power struggles, or ongoing conflicts.
- Founders, leaders, or advisors sense an unspoken misalignment with the company vision.
- Business transformations (mergers, leadership transitions, scaling) feel overwhelming and chaotic.
- There are persistent financial struggles, customer dissatisfaction, or stagnating sales.
- You notice patterns of rapid employee turnover, disengagement, or absenteeism.
What Happens in a Business Constellation?
Using representatives (either real people or symbolic markers), a systemic field is mapped out to reveal the unseen relationships between people, roles, departments, values, and even abstract elements like money, authority, or purpose.
The constellation process creates a visual and experiential representation of the business system, allowing participants to identify misalignments, restore balance, and unlock new perspectives.

✅ Leadership dilemmas & succession planning – Uncover hidden resistance to leadership changes and ensure a smooth transition.

Systemic Outcomes: What Changes After a Business Constellation?
Once hidden dynamics are acknowledged, natural rebalancing occurs. The outcomes include:

The Power of Systemic Insight
Our business constellation approach is inspired by the works of Jan Jacob Stam and Barbara Hoogenboom, integrating principles such as:
🔹 The three systemic consciences: Understanding how individual, unit and organisational consciousness interact.
🔹 Acknowledgment as healing: Recognizing “what is” can often create the movement needed for resolution.
🔹 Belonging, Order, and Exchange: Every system seeks balance in these three fundamental principles.
🔹 Patterns as solutions: What appears as resistance is often an expression of hidden loyalty or unresolved systemic trauma.
🔹 Transformation vs. Change: While change has a clear goal, transformation emerges organically through the constellation process.
