The mission of MTI's Certification Conferences is:

These core competencies — Managerial Mediation and Self Mediation — form the foundation of strategic management of organizational conflict, which emphasizes prevention and early resolution of workplace conflict. The MTI Training System builds upon this foundation to "weave mediation into the fabric of organizations" — into its culture and its structure.

As a result, conference graduates (managers and professionals alike) gain the skills and knowledge to go beyond mere training to create a "Mediating Organization" — one that optimizes the use of interest-based methods of managing differences, and minimizes the inappropriate use of power- and rights-based approaches.

Unlike other conflict training programs that focus solely on personal styles and individual-level skills, MTI's courses provide a practical, clear, blueprint for the prevention and early resolution of organizational conflict — review this strategic approach.

We invite you to visit the Conflict Management Toolbox to examine the The Dana Measure of Financial Cost of Organizational Conflict and The Dana Survey of Conflict Management Strategies. As a conference graduate, you will be able to use these on-line instruments for benchmarking and reassessment to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of your programs and services. Use this formula to calculate your return-on-investment (ROI) in conflict management training.

Each intensive two-day conference includes five concurrent "tracks" that occur at the same time in the same training room. View registration options and materials provided to select the track that corresponds to your interests and professional goals. Group size is typically limited to a total of 20 registrants, which ensures an intimate learning experience with plenty of opportunity for participation and individual attention. Below is a summary of track options:

For internal HRD and similar staff who wish to train members of their organizations in the core competencies for managing workplace conflict

For external consultants who wish to be certified to conduct the world's best conflict management training for their clients, to receive superb marketing support, and to qualify as a trainer subcontractor in MTI's corporate and government contracts.
