Solution Focus Flows Through Bottlenecks
Jul 16, 2023
Introduced by Annie Bordeleau
When I discovered Klaus Schenck’s work in 2013, he was already fascinated with metaphors and how they ubiquitously spice up our language and colour our stories.
In this presentation, Klaus chose the metaphor of ‘Bottlenecks’ to explore the sustainable flow of solutions. He highlights how heightened awareness of constraints and changing circumstances can propel us into our creativity.
With ease and utter curiosity, he skillfully walks the fine line between problem and solution talk, balancing risk and opportunity. Klaus guides us through his organisational development examples to illustrate:
- How we can look at the world through both lenses of constraints and solutions simultaneously.
- How constraints, conflicts, ambiguity, and misunderstandings are key to producing innovation.
Enjoy discovering “Solution Focus with a different focus”!
