The System Image: Recognizing and Utilizing Systemic Patterns

The online tool for visualizing systemic relationships and interactions in CAI^® World

In complex social and organizational structures, relationships, roles, and dynamics are often not immediately visible. The system map of CAI^® World provides a visual approach to these connections. As a flexible tool for representing current states and desired scenarios, it reveals what usually remains hidden: proximity and distance, power dynamics, and tensions within the system.

The system map is based on the method of systemic constellations and can be customized—from simple figures on a neutral background to color-coded and symbolically differentiated representations. It creates space for new perspectives and supports solution-oriented work in coaching, team development, and organizational consulting. The system image is part of various CAI^® World formats — from Business Coaching to Team Development and Conflict Management.
