Our mediation offer

​

What's often forgotten in a conflict is that most of the times it only takes a sensible compromise to find back on track. But as long as everyone insists on their perceived right progress remains impossible to be made. Because as Heinz von Foerster said, »The truth is the invention of a liar.«

​

The mediator's task is therefore is to remind all parties involved of this fact, to enable them to take a step towards each other and to find a common way out of the problematic situation. The mediator acts as a pilot who accompanies the parties while they find their own way to continue the project. In doing so, he/she proceeds according to the 'iceberg principle', which means that the causes of the communication difficulties are not searched superficially but far below the surface. Because of that mediation is suitable for all stages of a project. It is often helpful to already involve the mediator in the beginning of a project in order to accompany the cooperation between the participants in a preventive way.

 

The following advantages can be particularly emphasized in the involvement of a mediator in the project:

​

• it preserves the relationships of the participants long term

• it saves unnecessary costs

• it creates planning security for all participants

• it relieves the participants emotionally

• it ensures future cooperation between the parties involved

• in the event of a dispute, it ensures that common satisfactory ways will be found fast

• when involved in the entire process of a project, the presence of a mediator ensures clear communication between the involved parties
