As the pace of change accelerates with digital business and Business 3.0, organisational boundaries and alliances are constantly shifting. To survive and thrive in this new knowledge economy, teams and individuals must learn how to resolve conflict more effectively while maintaining long-term relationships. Unfortunately, most professionals receive very little formal education in effective conflict resolution, leading to situations where conflict is either avoided, responses become passive-aggressive, or, worse still, schoolyard bullying becomes the dominant means of 'winning' conflicts.

This instructor-led, live training (available onsite or remotely) is designed for executives, leaders, teams, and business professionals who wish to learn how to resolve conflict using practical, easy-to-follow, yet highly effective conflict models. By the conclusion of the course, you will have hands-on experience with 14 powerful plug-and-play tools that can help you resolve conflict while maintaining positive relationships in the workplace.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Identify the 5 stages of effective conflict resolution.
• Agree on how to deal with conflict before it starts.
• Manage themselves positively through conflict.
• Apply proven methods to resolve conflict faster and more effectively.
• Rehearse conflict scenarios to achieve better outcomes.
• Learn from conflict to approach future conflicts differently.

The programme includes simulations, role-playing activities, and interactive workshops to provide the necessary practical experience. The course emphasises fun, interactive, practical, visual, and analogy-based learning to help embed the models while moving at a fast pace. You can expect to hear about topics ranging from buildings and emotions, to preparing your 'conflict dish', lemmings, leading 20th-century psychologists, Harvard Business models, yogic breathing, kidnapping, rice, chairs, and Les Misérables.

We often mistakenly believe that acquiring a new process, tip, or trick is the key to impressing others, securing promotions, or achieving excellence. In reality, the root cause often lies in changing our beliefs. Beliefs are persistent thoughts we frequently entertain, which subconsciously constrain and direct our actions.

This concise course demonstrates how to 'hack' your behaviors by targeting the belief component of the cycle rather than the behavior itself, allowing the desired actions to follow naturally.

Commonly, we operate under the assumption that we 'act' in a certain way to 'achieve' great results, which then enables us to 'become' a new version of ourselves. However, the truth is that we must first 'become' that person—adopting their standards and worldview/beliefs—so that our behaviors naturally align and improved results ensue.

Choose the “Alternative Path to Agility” and implement an evolutionary, people-centric Change Management Method that doesn’t change your process but improves it.

The Kanban Method offers pragmatic, actionable, and evidence-based guidance for successful evolutionary change. It begins with what you do now, respecting existing roles, responsibilities, and job titles.

If your team feels overwhelmed, Kanban can help you regain control of your work. Kanban is a powerful technique for dynamically managing your process and uncovering bottlenecks.
