Since working with organizations means working with living systems, it is essential to have a map–that is, a conceptual framework –that deals with such systems. Various concepts of constructivism and other systemic approaches provide such a metaconcept. This article summarizes seven key issues that relate to systemic and constructivist approaches and considers how they interface with transactional analysis. Case material is used to illustrate these key issues, and readers are invited to consider how they would deal with the situation as a consultant. The final section offers a practical recommendation for systemic work with transactional analysis on three levels within the context of organizational consulting.
