"I thought that the style of creating a backlog of user stories and inputting them into sprints was very helpful and that the practical at the end of the course was excellent. Overall, it gave me a great insight into agile project management."

Recognise the early warning signs of conflict — disengagement, passive resistance, and side-channel complaints
Understand different conflict styles and what triggers escalation in each person
Distinguish between conflict that needs mediation and tension that requires policy or organisational change
Prepare purposeful conversations that move the situation forward constructively
AI & Technology Workplace Scenarios
Manage your own tone and body language to avoid amplifying defensiveness
Listen deeply and reflect back without taking sides or signalling judgement
Reframe perspectives so all parties feel genuinely heard before solutions are explored
Show neutrality while keeping dialogue purposeful and moving toward resolution
AI & Technology Workplace Scenarios
AI context: Rebuilding trust after an AI decision — automated task allocation, performance flagging — feels opaque or unfair
AI context: Managing generational friction between colleagues who embrace AI tools and those who feel threatened by them
AI context: De-escalating when an employee disputes an AI output that affects their role, review, or professional reputation
Facilitate mutual understanding and move both parties from fixed positions to shared interests
Co-create realistic action steps with genuine buy-in from everyone involved
Establish follow-through plans with clear ownership and timelines
Embed accountability in a way that feels fair and constructive rather than punitive
AI & Technology Workplace Scenarios
AI context: Agreeing team norms around AI tool use: what is acceptable, what is not, and who has authority to decide
AI context: Resolving attribution disputes when AI has contributed substantially to a deliverable or output
AI context: Creating shared commitments when role responsibilities have shifted significantly due to automation
Work through real workplace conflict scenarios in a psychologically safe environment
Choose full role play with character briefs or coached scenario walkthroughs with structured discussion
Receive direct, actionable feedback from facilitators on approach, language, and outcome
Debrief each scenario and identify strategies transferable to your own team and context
AI & Technology Workplace Scenarios
AI context: Scenario: A developer refuses to allow AI code review tools into their pipeline, citing IP and quality concerns
AI context: Scenario: Two senior engineers disagree publicly about whether to accept or manually validate AI-generated code
AI context: Scenario: An AI-generated project summary misattributes work, creating tension over credit and authorship
AI context: Scenario: A manager must address concerns flagged by an AI performance tool that the employee strongly contests
