Core Models and Definitions of the Hamburger Schule

A theory is a model of thought which can be drawn upon to explain events or for the construction of new worlds. It can also be understood as being the whole of a theoretically constructed picture – in contrast to practice. According to this, a theory is a simplified picture of an extract of reality.

The Hamburger Schule understands the term model as being the reduced complexity and abstract depiction of reality.

Based upon the theory of Self-Organised Coaching, the Hamburger Schule has developed various models and finds the following – in its understanding – important:

• Competence Model Coach
• Competence Model Coachee
• Competence Development Model
• Individual Development of Values
• MBVC Model
• Critical Success Factors in Coaching
• Communication Context
• Coaching Process
