About the Programme

Conflicts are an inevitable part of our personal, professional and social routines.While the form and nature of conflicts are constantly changing, conflicts themselves remain pervasive. In recent times, however, the question has arisen: Can conflicts be seen as opportunities, rather than challenges? 

By using innovative and effective strategies - including the Dialogic Method - to respond to conflicts not only resolve them but also transform them into potential opportunities leading to multiple outcomes that facilitate significant growth, innovative changes and value creation.

Conventional alternate dispute resolutions such as arbitration, mediation and conciliation do play a role in taking a different approach to conflict. However, enhancing individual ability to resolve conflicts - for one’s own self and for those 1 around us, across personal and professional situations, can not only be efficient and cost-effective, but it can also enhance relationships and result in innovative solutions.
