Our Mission
Our aim is to use and teach more effective ways to manage and resolve disputes and transform conflict by practising and demonstrating what we teach so as to improve the ways in which individuals and organisations deal with each other.
Our Values
As a community made up of our members, we believe
● in approaching others from an assumption of trust
● in transparency in our dealings with others, and one another
● in valuing others’ beliefs, feelings and needs
● that cooperation is preferable to confrontation
● that using and facilitating dialogue leads to understanding
● that putting people before profit enhances both
Our Business
MATA is run on shared profit principles, paying market rates for those who work for it, and a share of surplus according to contribution.
We aim to achieve the highest standards in our work, as individuals and as a community. We seek to support and develop our members, and to share learning with one another.
