Purpose & Philosophy

What moves us

Our purpose

Our vision is a shimmering world in which people take responsibility for themselves and for shaping their environment. We strengthen systems that support cooperation, lively development and belonging.

The field of our work is the socio-ecological transformation: the comprehensive change towards inclusive and regenerative ways of being, working and doing business. We support people and organisations that want to develop in this direction.

Our passion is about effective self-organisation and the joint search for creative solutions. In the face of growing social tensions, resilience, confidence and the courageous clarification of relationships are particularly important to us.

SOCIUS is organised according to the principle of shared & joint leadership. We make fundamental decisions by sociocratic consent. We work on the basis of roles and trust in individual responsibility.

Our transformation approach

Change as a principle of life
Change is the basic principle of life. Every breath is change, every day brings something new and unexpected. Systems that do not change die sooner or later.

Change is exhausting because it means a loss of control and challenges us to move when we just want to rest on our laurels. At the same time, change gives us hope: the promise of heading for new shores. Changes in organisations become possible when the energy of suffering meets common goals and the prospect of possible courses of action.

We often experience the „paradox of change“: the emotional acceptance of an unpleasant, perhaps even seemingly hopeless situation can ignite the spark for profound change. We support you in releasing the energy for change!

From predictability to emergence
Not so long ago, changes were planned like projects, with fixed milestones and measurable indicators. In an increasingly volatile and ambiguous world, however, change is increasingly subject to emergence. Dynamics of their own emerge in meaningful conversations or joint action, especially in complex interdependencies. Accompanying change means sensing unforeseen solutions and giving them space - even if phases of confusion or standstill have to be endured until the knot is untied. We support you in recognising what is emerging and provide orientation in the face of uncertainty.

Sure-footedness for sustainable change
Far-reaching changes require surefootedness. The introduction of new decision-making processes, communication procedures or team routines can be challenging until they become established practice. Old habits often creep back in. We pay attention to where these patterns occur and create opportunities for evaluation and adaptation - so that you not only initiate change, but implement it sustainably.
