Designing, planning and executing complex change can be difficult. There are many different approaches that can be taken and the successful and healthy organisation will naturally develop a number of alternative approaches. Managed well, these alternative approaches can be pulled together to generate creative and powerful change agendas. It is critical, however, to recognise and avoid the danger of destructive conflict or opportunities being lost for fear of conflict. This is how we deploy our capabilities to address the critical questions that must be answered if change is to be successful.

Facilitation, Mediation & Conflict Management

How do you design and deliver interventions at any stage in your change programme that move the programme forward effectively?

How do get past existing assumptions, norms and values to identify and address the real risks and issues in the business / project?

How do you address differences of opinion within & across the business to build  consensus that drives positive change?

How do you decide  between alternative paths?  How do you assess the implications of strategic choice & mitigate decision risk
