Björn Rabethge

Björn loves to support organizations, teams, and individuals in their development. He is a systemic organizational consultant and has been working at dwarfs and Giants as an Evolutionary Catalyst since 2017. His focus is on systemic-agile organizational transformation, self-organization, and agile methodologies.

"Living structures for loving beings": Björn is moved by the question of how we can create living structures that provide meaning and orientation. These structures should help people meet each other at eye level and unlock their full potential together. In addition to his systemic background, he has a strong "agile streak" as a former software developer, with a focus on self-organization and a deep understanding of group dynamics. His goal is to make the benefits of agile methodologies and a productive conflict culture accessible and valuable for the entire organization.
