The systemic way of looking is an approach, a philosophy and a different way of looking at the world. It provides a complementary and sometimes surprising image of reality.
Another branch of this systemic tree is a method we can easily use to examine reality. Known as a constellation, it was developed in Germany, with Bert Hellinger making the most important contribution. Family constellations are now rather well known in the Netherlands and many other countries around the world; organisational constellations are also becoming an increasingly well-known and trusted tool, especially among organisational consultants. Trusted, even though, as yet, we do not know how a constellation actually works. When you use a group of people to represent the elements of a system (people who know nothing about that system) suddenly this constellation seems to reflect the core issues of the relationships in that system, that organisation: the undercurrents suddenly become visible. Many books have been written about constellation methods, so we'll keep it short here. You can read more about organisational constellations in chapter II-6.
It is important to know that the constellations method has provided us with an enormous treasury of insights into how social systems function, what underlies their dysfunction and how this dysfunctional state can be transformed into one of health, flow and flourishing.
Clearly, organisational systems are different from family systems. This is why organisations deserve their own place: they are not just a particular kind of family system. Organisations keep society together, whether we like it or not, and all those organisations form a part of our societies, of our countries and of the world in which we live. Each of us is a unique part of our own family, but we all form part of our society and our world. Organisations sit somewhere in between, sometimes operating smoothly, sometimes stuck. Judgements and opinions form a part of us all. Organisations are subject to far more opinions and judgements than families. The phenomenological way of looking is one of having no judgement and wanting to change nothing. Of accepting the world just as it is. Strangely enough, facing and accepting reality, just as it is, often begins a process of change. Constellations have proven to be a good way to face what is.
This book is also about patterns. We are not always aware of the presence of patterns, or that we simply live in them and with them, as if we cannot do or know otherwise. Certain patterns, particularly unhealthy ones, can be persistent and stay in organisations for decades. Resisting patterns (usually in innocence of them) is a good way of ensuring they persist. What helps, is to face the truth and to take it as it is. Otto Scharmer, creator of the popular approach called Theory U, and a systemic thinker from the approach of 'learning' organisations, discovered that change starts with "a shift in the inner place from which we operate". By recognising patterns, facing them and taking them as they are (sigh… from my own experience I know this is easier said than done) such a shift in this inner place can take place. And then, sometimes, something totally new arises.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
