Facilitation and Mediation

The Keystone Center’s mediators are among the most capable and experienced in public policy dispute resolution and consensus building.  Our staff have convened and facilitated important agreement-focused dialogues, helping government leaders bring stakeholders together to solve complex and controversial healthcare, energy and environmental problems.  We have facilitated national policymaking processes, statewide consensus-building efforts and local decision-making discussions. 

The Keystone facilitators are the right facilitators for your work if you need:

• A way to break deadlocks created by entrenched stakeholders with competing, diametrically opposed positions
• Consultation with the public on an important public policy question before making a decision
• Joint fact-finding among stakeholder representatives who disagree over questions of data collection and analysis
• Creative solutions, supported by key stakeholders who could otherwise interfere with agency action
• Shared, interagency decision making
• Advice from constituents and affected members of the public
• A venue for careful deliberation among advocacy groups, corporate leaders and government officials
