Resolving conflict tries to end it. Managing conflict seeks to minimise it. But transforming conflict aims to turn negative into positive and uncover hidden value.
It sounds a contradiction but 'There's gold in them thar conflicts' – literal and metaphorical. Because conflict is driven by an energy that, reframed and redirected, can create dynamic, forward-looking collaboration and growth.
We take the dysfunctional relationships that are causing problems for you and your organisation.
We analyse with you what positive change is needed.
And then, in a carefully designed series of practical steps, we take those involved on a 'working journey' of creative transformation.
Our programmes are for leaders at any level who want to forge a path to transform damaging conflict into collaboration and creativity. They come in three formats – for groups, for individuals and as a series of core workshops.
Using a current conflict as your 'raw material', develop some core transformation and creative conversation skills in this four-week course, which blends structured online learning and a weekly mixed group skills workshop.
Skill me upIf your time is under pressure –and conflict is taking up far too much of it – we can design a programme to meet your individual needs and schedule, blending structured online learning and regular 1-2-1s over a ten-week period.
