The 2CG® Approach
Christina Merl's Multi-Method Approach for (Future) Skills Practice is science-based and practice-proven. The method emerged from Christina's dissertation, an ethnographic study on the role of cross-cultural communities of practice in the advertising industry, completed in 2005 and published as a book in 2009.
2CG has been continually enhanced and advanced over the past 15 years with the support of subject-matter experts, artists, and users. The tool-supported method has served as a reliable and creative approach in numerous case studies and projects across industries, cultures, and disciplines.

Multi-method Approach
2CG® stands for content- and context-specific generic competency coaching. The systemic-constructivist approach is based on scientific concepts, anchored in communities of practice (CoP), and makes use of inspirational input from the arts to disrupt and push transformation processes.
