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.
