We develop expertise and offer trainings that can be tailored to your organization’s needs. Our training programs focus in particular on strategic stakeholder engagement, negotiation skills, conflict prevention, managing collaboration, and various issues related to natural resource management.

In our strategic stakeholder engagement training, participants learn how to build acceptance at the local level by investing in early-stage engagement, delving into factors critical to projects and local communities—such as conflict prevention, identifying and reconciling interests, building trust and collaborative dialogue, and preparing for challenging interaction scenarios. Our Impact Negotiations training offers a systematic approach to developing negotiation skills. In addition, we have conducted several customized training programs on topics such as collaboration management, participatory planning and decision-making, and various issues related to natural resource management.
