r•evolutionary ideas enable organisations to achieve their revolutionary goals using an evolutionary approach.
The primary tool we use is the Strategy Map. It offers tailored solutions for organisations active in the political realm.
By using a Strategy Map, you start with the big picture. Individual tools can be implemented and adapted as needed. This approach results in prototypes that you can test at an early stage and further develop.
After their development (version 1.0), strategies are conceptualised as evolutionary systems. When external circumstances change, such as crises or windows of opportunity, the strategy is amended through a short adaptation cycle (version 1.1).
The Strategy Map provides a juncture where strategy, organisational development and leadership can meet. Fundamental change requires openness and clarity on three of these levels.
The services r•evolutionary ideas provide include introducing the Strategy Map, consulting, coaching and facilitation.
Dominik Zahrnt launched r•evolutionary ideas in 2015. His work has led to a consulting approach that brings in collaborators and clients to develop and implement joint strategies. As of 2020, virtual whiteboards have expanded the tools for evolutionary strategies.
My congenial partner is the designer and artist Johannes Tolk. Together we continue to develop the Strategy Map and other strategy systems like Mapping the Interplay between Nature and Economy – MINE and Kleinstadt Klimafit.
Daria Czarlinska of Sinnergie contributes ideas for mindfulness and systemic coaching. She works with the senses on an internal dimension, such as our joint coaching programme for the Studienstiftung.
