International partners
Work without borders.

Let's work worldwide.

In today’s globalized world, people collaborate across borders and cultures. International cooperation offers many opportunities, but also creates challenges for everyone involved.

Together with international partners, we offer specialised facilitation, mediation and training services for international and intercultural cooperation processes. We support business cooperation and conflict resolution within most world regions - including Europe, North America, Africa and Asia. Upon request, we are able to help individuals, teams and organisations with the right people at the right place.
