Conflict Management for Project Managers

Onsite Workshop with Dr. James Brown

Organizational success is rooted in successful relationships at all levels. Conflict is a natural part of any work environment and must be addressed in a positive and effective manner.

When improperly handled, conflicts can create barriers to organizational efficiency that can linger and/or spill over to other areas outside of the original situation. When properly handled, conflicts are resolved in a manner that maintains relationships and produces mutually agreeable outcomes.

This course focuses on conflict management and negotiations through prevention and resolution.

After completion of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Interpret key human behavior elements and their impact on conflict
• Apply human behavior principles to prevent/minimize conflict through the establishment of strong relationships
• Resolve conflict in a positive way

Conflict prevention ensures participants know human behavior and relationship building skills that minimize conflict potential and impact. Prevention essentially attacks organizational conflicts at the source. This is especially important for technical personnel that are unaware of and/or discount the importance of human behavior and relationships. Resolution focuses on skill development for negotiations and handling real time conflicts.
