Abstract: Systemic Constellations are a leading edge approach to catalyzing change to intuitively visualize and explore contingent future patterns. It is a practical approach for wise choosing, and represents a clear way to improve conventional scenario forecasting, strategic planning and marketing research methods especially when dealing with transformation and innovation in organizations. By creating maps of the whole ‘system’, they enable the invisible dynamics of even seemingly intractable situations to be revealed quickly and effectively, in ways that can be easily integrated into existing leadership, activist, commons and governance.
As well as having a unique capacity to generate insights about systems, they can also provide a powerful solution-focused process, creating new pathways and solutions that were literally unimaginable to the conscious mind.

In George Hall's interview with Peter Senge and Otto Scharmer ‘Inside the Theory of the U’, Scharmer explains that what is new in the Theory of the U is that this participatory way of looking at reality is more relevant today in dealing with large, macro societal and institutional leadership issues.
