For complex situations, we need techniques referring to the interactions between social systems. Therefore, we developed the concept of iterative consultancy. The old motto: "Analyse, then plan and afterwards realise the things planned" is replaced by the new motto:
"Try something out, observe the effects and side-effects, and react". Thus, the change process is controlled in a circular mode, step by step, and in an iterative way.
Flow consulting's research team developed the concept of iterative counsultancy taking into account the current organisation and management theories. We adapted models and instruments to this concept and have tested them in the leadership and change practice of organisations. The iterative consultancy is not a new solution, it is rather forming our understanding of consultancy with which we work. Besides newly developed instruments, methods and techniques, we also use selected methods of systematic consultancy, organisational development and of the expert coaching. The decisive factor is, how these methods are applied.
Some central elements of iterative consultancy can be found on our homepage. Further examples can be experienced during your practical collaboration with us.
Some elements of iterative coaching can be found in this video of crossroads in Hanoi: a continuous adaptation of rules, being prepared for the unexpected, and being extremely careful (Mindfulness and Anticipation).
