A multi-skilled team from a diverse range of professional backgrounds, they bring in-depth expertise as coaches, trainers and consultants in dealing with conflict issues within the business environment, working with individuals and organisations to address problem issues, implement improved procedures, raise skills, and increase overall performance.
Efficient project management requires that standard roles may need to be filled within each client engagement team, but we operate a flexible resourcing model based on placing the right individual into each role for each individual project. CEDR has access to a wide talent pool, and every consultancy team we put forward, regardless of project size, will always include the individuals who we have carefully selected as being the most relevant and qualified for the particular job in hand.
The academic and professional backgrounds represented within our full-time conflict management consultancy team include:
architect - barrister - business strategy consultant - chartered accountant - civil justice systems consultant – commercial mediator – facilitator - human resources director - international commercial lawyer - international project manager - international relations consultant - organisational development specialist - planning and public sector specialist - psychologist - social worker – solicitor - specialist in cross-cultural issues - trained counsellor - trainer.
In addition, for more complex or unusual assignments, we can supplement our team by drawing on the resources of our training faculty and mediator panels; and we also have access to overseas support through our affiliation with MEDAL (The International Mediation Services Alliance) where we can draw on the additional capabilities of the leading international commercial mediation and conflict management service providers from France, Italy, the Netherlands and the United States.
