Philosophy and Focus
To RE-CON-FIGURE means...
...to re-arrange the elements or settings; to change the shape or formation of; remodel; restructure, re-assemble the parts, reconstitute, composing the pieces differently, in order to solve conflicts.

- for schools, at the workplace, and for organizations
- Mediation, group facilitation and social dialogue services
- for individuals, families, groups, organizations, or communities
- Consulting in international development and peacebuilding
The focus of RECONFIGURE is...
...conflict. Everyday trivial conflicts or problems, dilemmas, disputes or disagreements, as well as deep-rooted, seemingly unsolvable conflicts.
Today's challenge consists in...
...understanding conflict, managing and solving conflicts, accepting different ways of seeing, explore possibilities, create consensus, reconfiguring thoughts, in order to improve processes and relationships—in families, at the workplace, in schools, communities, professional associations and organizations, among groups or nations.
RECONFIGURING...
...makes a new way of seeing possible.
There are different analogies for the reconfiguration process. For example: a kaleidoscope. A new image appears with a slight touch. The re-arrangement of pieces allows a new image to come into view. Another metaphor is the Chinese puzzle Tangram consisting of seven geometric elements. By putting the pieces of the puzzle together in ever new ways hundreds of different images can be re-configured. A mosaic, a quilt or a patchwork are other analogies: By restructuring the pieces, a new image emerges.
