Organizational constellations are configurations of people or symbols that represent individuals' connections to one another within a business context. The practice of facilitating organizational constellations, which grew out of family systems theory, aims to identify and explore relationships within a business system in order to solve problems and reach goals. The systemic nature of organizational constellations encourages, through the use of the senses, the discovery of relationship dynamics that may have previously gone unnoticed. This approach can be better understood through exploring the perspectives of those who facilitate organizational constellations. The research question, "How do organizational constellation facilitators in North America make sense of their work with organizational constellations?" provides the foundation to explore the ways that organizational constellation facilitators understand and make meaning of their experiences. This qualitative study used semi-structured interviews to gather data from participants, focused on discovering how and why organizational constellation facilitators in North America use organizational constellations. This research resulted in six key findings. Organizational constellation facilitators in North America make sense of their work with organizational constellations (a) by the manner in which they incorporate organizational constellations into their work, (b) through the indirect and direct application of organizational constellations, (c) through the application of their knowledge of systemic principles and relationship dynamics, (d) by the way in which they speak about organizational constellations, (e) by considering the client when constellations are chosen and used, and (f) through measuring the results of organizational constellations in diversified ways. These findings have implications for the practice of organizational constellation facilitators and for business people. In addition these findings contribute to the literature in the areas of organizational constellations, sensemaking, and systems. Key Words: Organizational constellations, sensemaking, systems theory, qualitative.
