The method to moderate has its origin in the environment of universities and business counsellors in the late 60's and early 70's.

The business consultants Eberhard Schnell and Karin Klebert and Einhard Schrader developed the methods as an expression of conversation orientated on co-determination. Until this day performances and discussions have been used predominantly as structures of conversation.
