Similar to human beings where trauma is stored in the body, impactful or traumatic events in companies are stored in the visible and invisible structure, in its tissue and its collective memory. It still shows itself in the internal relations and culture.
Looking at the underlying dynamics with systemic intelligence allows us to bring the strong invisible undertow to the surface and to intervene at the right level, in the right spot, with the right actions.
