Conversations Consulting

Description

When consulted, we at Conversations Consulting assist individuals and organizations in communicating and working together in ways that are respectful and effective.
This work may be as simple and informal as sitting down with two people over a cup of coffee to bridge a difficult subject. Other times it may involve highly structured negotiations, mediations, planning exercises or other complex interventions. Such efforts have helped parties to focus their dialogue, plans and documents, by developing more accurate objectives, and success criteria, as well as appropriate risk tolerances. Our skills and advice have assisted clients in keeping projects, programs and organizations on track, and in evaluating and improving their effectiveness. Our clients discover ways to explore sometimes divergent or competing interests and to develop processes or agreements that use differences to increase innovation and cooperation.
