Systemic Constellations (SC)
This experiential systemic approach involves representing and exploring the internal or external relationship dynamics within complex business systems using physical representation or “constellations” of individuals, teams, functions, elements or even ideas.
Tapping into intuitive knowledge, it is a valuable, time-effective tool for today’s entrepreneurs and leaders who need to address challenges in complex, fast moving environments.
This innovative, simple method works with a symbolic, interactive spatial representation of the situation, provides new insights into the dynamics, reveals hidden dynamics and identifies possible solution scenarios and their impact.
It doesn’t require in depth consultation, expert services or analysis common in traditional approaches who work with what’s already “known”. With this experiential and intuitive way to access latent, subconscious knowledge about the dynamics at work, constellations offer a complementary approach.
It can be seen as a pathway to the intuitive “right brain” of businesses, balancing the cognitive power of the “left brain”.
A systemic business constellation requires only 1-2 hrs of focussed time online or in-person with your systemic constellation facilitator.

How do Systemic Constellations work?
- Explainer: What is a Systemic Business Constellation (SBC)
- The Systemic Constellation Process
- Professional Service Fees
Systemic Business Constellations (SBC) is a fast and simple method for intuitive decision making and uncover hidden dynamics within an organisation. It evolved from Systemic Constellations (Hellinger) a problem solving approach for family systems that started in Germany. For the past 20 years it has also been applied in business as it offers a fast, practical and results-oriented method.
How it works: a picture says 1000 words
Intuitive, Subconscious Insights:
- SBCs help people in an organization tap into subconscious insights that are hard to see with traditional methods.
- By using physical objects or designated representatives to reflect parts of a business, subtle dynamics are revealed.
Non-Verbal Communication, Talking in Pictures:
- SBCs focus on non-verbal cues and energy dynamics rather than relying only on verbal communication and data analysis.
- The approach uncovers tensions, conflicts, or unspoken perceptions, providing valuable new insights
Practical Application and Results Orientation
- SBCs are pragmatic and solution focused, aimed at achieving tangible outcomes and actionable insights.
- Business professionals can trust that the process is based on objective observations and geared toward solving clearly defined challenges or opportunities.
Alignment with Business Objectives
- Insights from SBCs are directly applicable to business objectives, helping address complex issues with many stakeholders or enabling organisational change.
- These insights can be integrated into strategic planning, execution plans and decision-making, helping businesses adapt in dynamic environments.
The constellation takes 1-1.5 hours.
After our intial 20 min introduction call, no further preparation is required. For on-line video call sessions all you need is a quiet room with a screen, camera and desk, where you can focus and assure privacy. In-person session arrangements will be agreed and facilitated at a suitable venue (Sydney Metro).
Preparation and Goal Setting:
We define your specific business question and set a clear objective for the constellation. This may include gaining insights into organisational dynamics, identifying hidden conflict or finding solutions to complex problems.
Setup:
Physical representatives for elements of the business systems, such as people, departments, stakeholders or even abstract concepts like goals or challenges are selected. Representatives maybe people, markers or physical objects. The representatives are spatially arranged to represent their relationships within the business system. It can be imagined like a 3D image.
Insights and Solutions:
The representatives express their perceptions about the relationship dynamics at play. This allows us to observe patterns, tensions, disconnections or disruptions. Potential solution scenarios or hypotheses can be tested.
Integration and Action Planning:
The newly gained insights and potential solution, which may be around organisational structure, communication practises or decision making processes, can then become part of operational implementation plans.

About Ursula Dauenhauer,
Founder of Business Backstage:
My clients benefit from more than 30 years business experience I can leverage to facilitate constellations in the most effective way. After more than 35 years experience in the world of technology sales, marketing and go to market strategies, working with more than 110 businesses along the way, I learned that analysis and process can operationally run a business, but it can’t create its drive or vibe, – its essence.
Traditional methods can manage the mechanics well – however they take time, can be costly and cannot replace creativity, imagination or entrepreneurial intuition.
We all know what it feels like when we expreience a business that is energising, collaborative and driven. We sense it too if it is toxic, political, de-motivating or simply flat and disfunctional. We inuitively know when things feel right – or not.
This is the beauty of constellations – we can instantly see what goes on and find solutions for the better. “
The Difference
ENERGETIC
We all know about the criticality of our “why”, the vision, purpose and the culture of a business. This energy comes initially from the founders and entrepreneurs. As the business grows and changes more influences and dynamics come into play which may impact operations.
PHENOMENOLOGICAL
The principle of phenomenology simply means that we don’t make assumptions, start with an open mind and are present in the moment. Constellations start with a blank sheet to discover new insights and new solutions that balance the whole system dynamic.
EXPERIENTIAL
The insights that can only be acquired through observation or experience as supposed to learning from a text book. In a systemic constellation context it means that what we observe is unique andmeaningful to a given situation at a point in time.
