Abstract
Systemic in-house Consulting (SIHC) is a new phenomenon in many German-speaking multinational companies. Triggered by the increase in parallel change projects (particularly in bigger organisations), SIHC faces an almost Munchhausen-like paradoxical task: to consult and change organisations from within. In this article, we explore the SIHC phenomenon and argue that increasing change needs have the potential to stimulate organisational change capacity. SIHC can also be interpreted as one way to build up internal change capacities. The article illustrates the new SIHC phenomenon, using the case of an automotive supplier building up SIHC as a resource to cope with the multiple, heterogeneous and parallel change processes.
