Accord Canada offers a professional development program in association with Michelle LeBaron. Our program is designed to build the negotiation, facilitation, mediation, and process design capacity necessary to support interest-based approaches to public policy decision-making and dispute resolution.

All of our courses are structured to help participants build on their existing knowledge and experience as they learn new approaches to resolving complex disputes. The emphasis is on acquiring new skills through simulations, case studies, demonstrations and other experiential learning tools. Each course can be tailored or integrated with others to meet particular needs.

Thinking Strategically: Developing Systems to Resolve Conflict

This design clinic provides a forum and structure for government ministries, public agencies, administrative tribunals, and courts to integrate alternative dispute resolution mechanisms with their adjudicative processes to create a dispute resolution system tailored to their needs. The clinic may be structured as a series of one or two-day workshops, often in conjunction with an actual system design initiative.

Thinking Strategically is a must for leaders tasked with the development of a dispute resolution system for their organization.

Please note this course is currently only offered on a customized basis, tailored to the needs of the client group or organization (usually 16-24 participants). For more information, please contact us.
