INKOVEMA's teaching stream on the practical issues of mediation and conflict management.
Practical situations in mediation, but also in coaching and conflict counselling, are explained, reflected upon and categorised.
Problem description: As a mediator, how do I findin an appropriate fee range for the price negotiations with customers.inside? What aspects play a role in a balanced and stable argument that I can defend as a mediator, even if it is questioned and put up for negotiation?

1. person of the mediator
- existing practical experience
- Interest and goal of taking on and conducting mediation
- Self-image and market positioning
- Training and industry knowledge
- Recommendations and framing through recommendations (raising and lowering fee rates)
- Co-mediation
- Pro Bono (Marketing)
2. parties to the conflict
- socio-economic aspects (non-profit organisations; public sector, low-income families, etc.)
- Price of mediation = value of conflict resolution for the client
- Self-image of the conflict parties or the commissioning organisation
3 Conflict context and area
- Value of the conflict
