Consulting in organizational development: Dialogical and participatory
Strategic corporate development needs space and time.
And smart people who work together jointly to find the best possible solutions.
In order to find solutions for complex future issues, the knowledge and experience of all relevant stakeholders is needed.
Discursive development approach
Organizations are divided into business units, departments and functions. These organizational units pursue their specific tasks and thus develop their own interests, which they must protect in order to fulfill their mission.
Therefore, each part of the organization interprets the goal of the company in its own way. In this context, perceptions are usually interest-driven and not necessarily oriented towards a common goal.
These different views conflict at the interfaces of the process organization. Conflicts and sometimes severe frictions can be the consequences that are part of the daily routine in many companies.
Due to the different views, understanding and collaboration can become difficult. What seems rational to some is far from comprehensible to others.
A common ground and understanding must achieved in between relevant stakeholder groups. In these agreement processes, the different parts of the company agree on common solutions. This requires well steered discourses across hierarchies and beyond classical “silo structures”.
As experienced consultants in organizational development, we have the necessary background knowledge and proven formatsto solve all these issues.
Countercurrent approach
However, it doesn’t help much to let employees determine the company’s course “bottom-up“. Then, as a rule, only the existing is continued.
Similarly, understanding in complex organizations cannot be ordered “top-down“. When it comes to important issues , you need the knowledge, experience and input of several business units to arrive at viable solutions.
Understanding must therefore be reciprocal: With content framing “from above” and stakeholder expertise “from below”:
At the same time, this discursive approach leads to the stakeholders taking ownership and engagement in order to work out best possible solutions.
Facilitate mutual understanding as a management task
agreement on
- the“right direction“
- a target-oriented implementation strategy
- a planned approach to the challenges of the future
is a central management task. We strengthen our clients in this process by planning and moderating the necessary solution finding processes.
Effective process architecture
The essence of effective organizational development is discourse.
With this approach
- the appropriate stakeholders find solutions
- for relevant issues
- in a coordinated, sensible sequence
- in effective and captivating formats
In order todevelop suitable solutions, we develop an effective process architecture at the beginning of each consulting process. Here is an example from a (real) change project in a sales department of a German medium-sized company:
Our guiding principles in OD consulting
As a consulting firm for all topics related to organizational development, we generally work according to a few principles that have proven themselves time and again in our consulting practice over many years:
- We work with the forces that exist in the company, not against them. Change succeeds when the forces within the organization are harnessed as the driving forces of change.
- We understandresistance in change processes as a healthy force that informs about the true needs of the organization or individual employees. We distinguish well-founded objections from resistance and work with both impulses in such a way that they become supporting forces within the change process.
- We try to strengthen our clients’ organisations at all times and support the assumption of organisational and personal responsibility in the change process. Based on our ethical principles, we avoid dependencies and promote learning processes wherever we can. At the same time, we never leave our customers alone with their challenges. We offer full energetic and sometimes “hands on” support when it is needed and makes sense.
- We do not perceive frictions and similar phenomena as isolated incidents, but always as the by-product of other effective factors. These need to be examined and taken into account while planning the next necessary steps, driving towards tangible solutions We assume that every action never has only one effect in the system, but may cause unwanted and unpredicted side-effects We are aware that systems are not entirely controllable and always develop a momentum of their own that is not always predictable. Nevertheless, we are experienced and prudent helmsmen who stay on course, even in rough seas and heavy drift.
- We offer our clients to discuss these developments with us from an entrepreneurial and systemic point of view and always include you in the planning of the next steps.
- Each employee has her/his own story. We treat the organizations we work with with respect. Our clients always know their organization better than we do. Nevertheless, we have our own external perspective . We recognize this as a value in itself from which our customers can benefit.
Our approach to organizational development consulting

- If applicable, supplemental Interviews
