RATIONALE
We believe that the paradigm shift – or system change – necessary to sustain a livable planet for future generations can only be achieved through a collective intelligence enabled by collaboration.
Based on our experience working on sustainability issues with organizations and multi-stakeholder initiatives over the last decade:
- Sustainability requires new ways of thinking and doing: a systems approach, for more integrated and robust solutions.
- Collaboration – across silos, sectors, disciplines, cultures, etc. – is thus fundamental to bring about that change.
- Yet collaboration demands a shift in mindset, a more empathetic and trustful culture as well as new practices, methods and tools.
- That does not come about naturally, so facilitation and change management is crucial to engage stakeholders and embark on a process that catalyses change.
We are a boutique consultancy based in Shanghai and in Berlin working towards that purpose since 2009, by curating, designing and facilitating collaboration to catalyze the sustainability transformation in organizations and society by:
- Accompanying leaders, teams, organizations on their journey to sustainability –
ACCOMPANY FOR ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE - Building partnerships, alliances and communities to catalyze positive impact –
ALLIANCES FOR MULTISTAKEHOLDER COLLABORATION - Supporting international cooperation programs in deepening dialogue and mutual understanding –
ADVISORY FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

TESTIMONIALS
Constellations supported us in the preparation, realisation and debrief of a two-day workshop on the ecosystem services-toolbox for the planning of Green Infrastructure (IMECOGIP). During this event, participants from diverse professional fields gathered. Constellations became quickly acquainted with the subject matter and internalised the spirit of the project.
Thanks to their experience in implementation and marketing, they put valuable and further-reaching questions to us scientists. They empathetically steered the workshop discussions among diverse participants from public administration, experts and students. They wisely chose adequate moderation techniques and refrained from exaggerative gimmicks. A contributing factor was that they acted as a multilingual and multicultural competent team that stimulated participants to contribute to the discussions.
Thus, Constellations was a success factor of the workshop that outperformed our expectations.

The CONSTELLATIONS workshop facilitated by Magali and her team was one of the most productive and engaging I’ve joined. Meticulous planning and preparation ensured that the debates were well structured and let to clear outputs, really a massive thanks and well done.
I have loved everything in the design and delivery of the LearnEx, including its imperfections. The location and charm of the hotel, the in-between walks and rides, the choice of companies, places and people to meet, the restaurants, the guide and the artist, and your smart debriefs and debrief questions, the conversations with my well and less well-known colleagues, the attention that you put in customizing the space for our conversation with maps, photos, objects – all this the product of your intelligence and generosity. I had not felt so relaxed and ready to be inspired for a long time…
