Strategy consulting in family influenced enterprises

Strategic management is essentially difficult in systems influenced by family structures. Family systems are characterized by structures of power grown by different tribes or lobbies over a very long period of time. These systems influence the enterprise management independently of the market requirements or other economical circumstances. In order to control or manage these influences in complex cohesions requires extraordinary personal and methodical qualifications, which exceed the qualifications of classic management.

Our experience and professional qualification in the combination of management know-how with therapeutic abilities offers the necessary background for this challenge.

The instruments have been developed over many years. They are divided into two main areas. In one aspect, they aid in gaining and keeping overview in complex systems. In the other, they assist and greatly increase the effectiveness of even small strategic interventions.

We distinguish between

Gaining control:

  1. Systemic methods to analyze and unveil family politics as a background for decisions, preferences and actions of family representatives.
  2. Theme and power analysis of the system as a basis of targeted interventions for the development of organizational performance.

Increasing effectiveness:

  1. Coaching for the increase of targeted precision of interventions.
  2. Allied strategy for the rapid reproduction of influence within a short time frame.
  3. Potential analysis of teams and individuals for the optimization of the deployed resources.

How we work

Pelzer AP turns human potential into economical value

Changes happen daily, static stability is an illusion. This means that for a system to gain a relative amount of stability, it has to change in the same rhythms as its surroundings.

The independence of a person’s ability to decide freely is something we do not question. It is a driving force for motivation and happiness. This means that we do not create solutions for our clients. Instead we suggest frameworks and methods, deliver ideas and help the management with the implementation.

We pay attention to symptoms and their function as well as why they have developed. We pay particular close attention to resistance and anxieties. They point at unused reservoirs of energy. We assist in the search for reasons of resistances therefore optimizing the solutions.

We rely on the inner wisdom of people, because they sense – even unconscious – what is good and right for them. That means: we offer methods exceeding purely rational work methods. We establish a work atmosphere that is free of fears and nourishes cognition and creativity.

Our attitude stems from our vision "be wind over water"

As wind we add structure to the water. We move the water, gentle or – if necessary – with force. We let the air breathe, we move forward and from time to time we will blow into someone’s face. Powerless and influential.

Metaphor

To reach the spring, you have to swim against the current

Nevertheless it is important to stay in motion in order to use the power of the current to your strategic advantage. Metaphors of deep see navigation are useful for consulting companies navigating through complex situations. The metaphors are also practical to visualize and simplify seemingly contradicting possibilities.
