Visual Constellations – Group Workshops
Creative Problem-Solving and Decision-making with Visual Constellations
Constellations are a visual mapping process that allow the analysis of challenges in-depth through reducing complexity. By learning the ‘grammar’ of visual mapping, hidden dynamics at play are made visible, crystallising blocks to progress, where resources should be invested and how relationships can be improved.
It is an established systemic consultancy-method that can be learned and applied very fast, either for self-coaching or with others. Through using visuals and 3D objects your thinking deepens, stakeholder needs are more accurately considered and high impact actions emerge. You will go away with a clear picture of how to solve your challenge, and an increased capability for effective problem-solving and decision-making.
Workshops can be online or offline with flexible duration, ranging from shorter Lunch & Learn group coaching sessions to half day or full-days.

This is a refreshing method for tackling difficult challenges and broadens out one’s perspectives. I would recommend it as a novel way of solving a variety of intractable problems.

Managing Director
A different and unique approach to exploring work challenges especially around trying to achieve change. The key benefit is the ability to step away from, or perhaps sit above the situation to give new insight.
I work a lot with my clients on opening up new perspectives to a ‘topic’, but had never used anything so practical as this before. It is the wider system that is sometimes hard for the client to visualise and understand its impact on the topic.
Executive Coach
Quite a powerful method when taught by such an experienced coach like Claudia.
Really enjoyed the exercise and have put it into my problem-solving toolbox.

The physical aspect of working with 3D objects does achieve new ways of thinking surprisingly.
Working with a limited number of objects enabled me to cluster requirements and conflicting needs of a large number of people into a few groups.
I found that helpful to get some clarity as I had to be generic about the dynamics that were going on.
CFO
Using the mapping simplified the issue for me. It was like putting glasses on that I didn’t know I needed; I suddenly saw the issue with clarity. If I changed my mindset on one element then I could move ahead.
Career Coaching Client
The relationship between objects emphasized where distance was needed and where priorities should lie.
Sales Director
“At Oxford Innovation Space, we are committed to helping our customers thrive and grow. Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting Claudia and Richard from Moving Maps, who delivered engaging Creative Problem-Solving workshops across our portfolio of Innovation Centres in Oxfordshire. The workshops were a resounding success, with both our customers and centre teams appreciating the opportunity to visualize problems in 3D and explore creative solutions to long-standing challenges.”
Wendy Tindsley, Innovation Director
Oxford Innovation
Forces attention to certain issues that people may not readily bring to light otherwise.
Business Consultant
I couldn’t really imagine that it would be any different but to actually see our world in a 3D perspective somehow made a much deeper impression; it is a very useful tool. The constellation map enabled us to visualise our position in relation to the forces around us. It made me realise that our biggest strength is also our greatest vulnerability. I don’t think I had ever looked at our position like that before.
Small Business Owner
We have used Moving Maps with Claudia Filsinger in our work, and found it extremely useful and insightful.
Research Director, AI Strategy Company
A great workshop which was very dynamic and clearly presented. The concept behind it was very easy to grasp and using this method for problem-solving really helped to breakdown the different aspects around a problem, and how they interact with each other, which makes it easier to find a solution. It was very valuable to see how the same problem can be mapped differently by different people

It gave me a new perspective on conflicting pressures and priorities. Putting it in 3D made it feel very different and immediate.
