Public EngagementOct 26, 2010Public disputes over where to put a new subway line, how much mercury to allow in factory discharges along rivers, or how to allocate minerals in the ocean floor among the world's countries affect the public-at-large. Stakeholders demand a voice. To help make public policy decisions, public dispute mediation and facilitation efforts seek to incorporate (rather than block or dismiss) the input of local, regional, national, and sometimes international communities. Using 21st-century technologies, Adroit can help those leading these efforts to gather, distill, and incorporate this input.
Group CommunicationOct 23, 2010Rarely do individuals negotiate only on their own behalf. Whether they speak for or formally represent others, belong to a team or organization, share resources with a group, or are accountable to others within a complex network, negotiators rarely fly solo. Consequently, working things out across a bargaining table often requires coordination on each side of the table as well. Adroit helps negotiators envision and build tools to do that—to increase their organizational, not just individual, negotiating capabilities.
Thought LeadershipOct 23, 2010Dispute resolution professionals who can distinguish their work and especially their intellectual contributions have a big advantage over the rest of the field. We can help busy practitioners reflect on their practice and enhance their scholarship footprint by turning interviews into websites, podcasts, videos, research articles, and other media. Pieces we've helped develop have made an impact on the field.
MarketingSep 23, 2010Since we care about the dispute resolution field, we like helping its best teachers, practitioners, and scholars to publicize their ideas and resources. This goes beyond thought leadership, to improving market share and profitability. We do not do market research, but we are a marketing department's best friend because we help develop and repackage materials that can be used to market good people and good ideas.
Training ToolsSep 23, 2010Teaching others the skills of conflict resolution and deal-making is no small feat. Adroit helps both ADR educators and trainers develop conventional teaching materials like videos and role-play simulations. Less conventionally, we can also help organizations think about how to develop customized and private online tools that make it easy to follow-up on negotiation training by creating an evolving knowledge bases, coaching capabilities and online learning communities.
Project ManagementSep 23, 2010Our remote administrative services for dispute resolution professionals go beyond what most support staff can offer because we have a deep knowledge of both dispute resolution strategy and also new cost- and time-saving technologies. Not only can we track the details of complex cases and provide logistical support, we have the substantive expertise required for tactical work behind the scenes. Not just geeks, we also have the interpersonal skills required for adept client handling. We can even shadow or co-mediate with you to provide data midstream
