Facilitated meetings

At Dialogue by Design we have extensive experience of designing and facilitating face-to-face meetings in the UK and further afield. Many of our professional facilitators are leaders in the field, allowing us to undertake projects of any nature, size, or location in the world. Our experience ranges from international meetings for the chemical industry, through national workshops on government strategy, to local community-based workshops. Our extensive knowledge and experience in the field allows us to custom design each meeting, workshop or event to efficiently fulfil the aims and goals of our clients.

We are constantly extending our repertoire of facilitation methods by taking on new challenges, networking with colleagues in different fields, and attending international conferences. Everything we do demands innovation, which helps us to make meetings of every size as stimulating as they can be.

Deep Dialogue

We can provide third party mediation to resolve deep-rooted conflict through Andrew Acland, an international expert in the area and a member of the UK Panel of Independent Mediators.

Andrew has over 20 years experience in mediation and facilitation, and his experience includes situations of political, commercial, organisational and community conflict. He has worked with business, government, non-governmental and civil society organisations on many controversial issues, such as the transport of nuclear waste, industrial development in environmentally sensitive areas, and human genetics. He has written and lectured widely on mediation and conflict resolution, and is the author of two well-regarded books on the subject, A Sudden Outbreak of Common Sense: Managing Conflict through Mediation (Century Business 1990) and Resolving Disputes Without Going To Court (Random Century 1995).
