  Debra Synovec assists teams, multilateral partnerships, affiliate groups, governance boards and corporations solve issues through mediation and prevent future conflict by developing innovative and sustainable mediation and conflict management programs.  Disputes occur between team members, across departmental lines, between co-workers and between supervisors and workers.  Conflict can be costly, stressful and destructive.  Establishing a mediation or conflict management system improves performance, reduces stress, increases morale, decreases the risk of litigation and prevents potential conflicts from developing in the future.

Additionally, Debra provides services to multilateral ventures between the NGOs, foundations, corporations,  regulatory/governmental agencies and individuals partnering on projects and programs that promote social justice and global development which have unique conflict management needs.  Generally these ventures are highly heterogeneous and multi-faceted, presenting complexity due to the necessity of blending intercultural, cross-cultural, organizational, and socioeconomic diversity.    Unique analysis is required to create conflict management programs that successfully address the multi-layer diversity and conflict issues that occur.  Conflict management programs are designed to bridge the multifaceted issues presented using an integrative approach to meet the client’s unique program requirements.
