  • Get beyond each side's positions to build a precise and lasting agreement.

Who it is for

For anyone who experiences or witnesses tension at work: two departments with different goals, a decision that upsets people, one word too many in an email. The method works whatever your job: at a front desk, in a workshop, at a patient's bedside, behind a screen, on a building site or at the head of a team. The module follows three weeks to restore dialogue between customer service and logistics, but the exercises and the exam put you in many other situations.
