As market leaders, CMI advises businesses, governments
and public bodies about effective dispute resolution methods
and systems.
Businesses
Increasing financial pressures, greater competition, brand
sensitivity and a global marketplace - these are tough
but exciting times for business. Inevitably, the nature
of handling conflicts has also become far more demanding.
Lengthy disputes, whether with competitors, employees
or in the supply chain, pose a serious threat to productivity,
profits and relationships. They tie-up valuable resources,
damage core focus and attract adverse publicity. The costs
can be crippling.
CMI advises businesses on developing and implementing
their own systems for preventing, managing and resolving
these disputes quickly, informally, and above all effectively.
Please visit our consulting
case studies and
training case studies for examples of these systems
in action.
Governments
Resolving disputes effectively is an increasing priority
for many governments. Court systems are under intolerable
strain with growing case-loads and insufficient resources,
and governments are under serious pressure to deliver
significant improvements.
CMI is at the cutting edge of enabling these improvements.
CMI is the appointed adviser to numerous governments,
advising on dispute resolution legislation and policy,
designing non-court-based dispute resolution systems,
implementing structured links to the judicial system,
building demand for mediation, and covering all related
areas required by governments.

case studies and our
training case studies for examples.
Public authorities and regulators
Public authorities and regulators are increasingly confronted
with disputes which require skilful management and effective
resolution. The complexity of new regulatory structures
and the growing remits of public authorities demand new
ways to achieve this.
Our experience of working with Public Authorities and
Regulators includes:
|
Designing and implementing
mediation systems for regulators. |
|
Designing and implementing mediation
systems for ombudsmen. |
|
Designing and implementing training
for staff to equip them with the skills required
to meet these challenges. |
|
Conflict ‘audits’
to assess existing dispute resolution systems and
then design appropriate responses. |

case studies and our training
case studies for examples.
Supra-national bodies
As the theory and practice of modern dispute resolution
has developed, so has the role of supra-national bodies
(such as the United Nations and the EU) in establishing
appropriate international standards and models.
CMI is integrally involved in creating these standards
including:
|
Drafting
international laws. |
|
Advising
on policy, model laws and regulatory systems for
dispute resolution. |

consulting case studies for examples.
