Conflict Intelligence (CIQ) Executive Education Program

Transform Conflict into Your Competitive Advantage

In today's high-pressure business environment, conflict isn't optional—it's inevitable. The question isn't whether you'll face opposition, tension, or difficult conversations. The question is: Will you be ready?

The Conflict Intelligence (CIQ) executive education program from the Morton Deutsch International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution and TC Academy at Teachers College, Columbia University gives you the elite skill set that separates reactive managers from transformational leaders. This isn't theory—it's a practical, research-backed system designed for executives who need to perform under pressure, bridge divides, and drive results through people.

Why CIQ?

• World-Class Expertise: Learn from Columbia University's premier conflict resolution institution, home to 70+ years of groundbreaking research
• Personalized Insight: Gain clarity through cutting-edge assessments including the proprietary Conflict Competency 360
• Immediate Application: Walk away with frameworks and strategies you can deploy the very next day
• Peer Learning: Connect with fellow executives facing similar challenges across industries
• Career-Defining Impact: Master the leadership competency that drives collaboration, innovation, and organizational success

The Bottom Line

Conflict competency is the hidden multiplier of executive effectiveness. It's what allows you to build coalitions, drive change initiatives, negotiate successfully, and lead through ambiguity. CIQ doesn't just teach you about conflict—it fundamentally upgrades how you show up when it matters most.
