Our Vision

Our vision is to be a primary thought leader and dispute resolution provider in the world! We believe in excellence in all that we do. From finding the right negotiator, mediator and arbitrator to the latest training courses to creating content that inspires, provokes discussion and drives change in the world of ADR and ODR.

Our Values

Our core values are represented by the ‘3 P’s’: Progressive, Progress, Progression. Our ethos is to be ‘Progressive’, in the social responsibility we have as a business but also in the socially conscious way we tackle conflict globally. Our aim is to help you ‘Progress’ towards the resolution of your dispute or progress in your ambition of becoming an accredited mediator or arbitrator. Finally, ‘Progression’ comes from when we help you reach your goal, we help you settle your dispute, achieve accreditation as a mediator or arbitrator or just achieve peace of mind in relation to a conflict.

Aside from our ‘3 Ps’ we are great advocates of human ethics and our ethics come from our Dialogue and Pluralism department, which keeps us socially responsible and socially conscious of the conflict in the world. We look to increase dialogue amongst conflict torn sections of societies across the world and help them find resolution and peace within their differences using the power of words and communication.
