Developing Conflict Management skills, or strategies, requires practice. Professional mediators and others tasked with conflict management responsibilities, however, cannot risk learning on-the-job. Because the risks of “learning-by-doing” in situations of real conflict are too high, practical conflict management training is best done through the use of realistic simulations; based on actual disputes. We help our clients benefit from “real” practice, but without the real risk, by developing customized simulations and realistic conflict management scenarios that are based on real cases.
Our conflict management simulations have been used by international humanitarian organizations, inter-governmental development organizations, development banks, militaries, journalists, and police in order to prepare personnel for deployment in several of the world’s conflict zones. Our peace process simulations have been used by diplomats and international envoys in order to prepare them for diplomatic peace efforts.
In the private sector, our simulations and conflict role-plays have helped clients prepare for meetings with opposing parties in disputes and have helped companies successfully to manage internal conflicts.
Whatever the context, and whatever the conflict, we help our clients practice and plan strategies, so that they are prepared for almost anything by the time they are called upon to deal with real situations.
