Systemic Perspectives on Consulting
Interventions
respect the autonomy of the intervening system
(humility, non-deterministic...)
What do we take responsibility for as a Consultant? We cannot determine within a linear thinking.
aim: to create follow up communications / actions
group's analog intervention: think of intervention you provided. how did you feel (body sensation)? express this feeling in a body posture
Interventions are targeted actions
When are interventions successful?
(judged by whom?)
Connectivity is a prerequisite...
Intervention > influence
analog intervention (<> verbal intervention) ...
use all four dimensions of knowing
Communication
Succesful communication is highly unlikely
3 selections should happen so that communication takes place
Communication =
Social System
(NOT people)
information ... "what" is communicated (Sender)
Utterance ... how, why, when sth. is communicated (Sender)
Understanding
(incl. misunderstanding) ...
assigning meaning (Receiver)
understanding is performed by
the "receiving system"
Connecting to a communication is including e.g.
"(consciously) ignoring"
Communication builds on prior communication events, and (potentially) influencing all subsequent communication
I (on my own) cannot "communicate", produce communication, it is a social, emergent phenomenon
The flow of communication events
IS
the social system
Connectivity
