We target gaps on the most important global problems, where others aren’t working, conflict is intractable, or an issue is stuck. We convene with purpose to solve disputes. We create innovations and solutions that inspire and rally partners. We scale and sustain those that work.
We envision a less polarized world with a shared commitment to transforming ambitious ideas into real benefits for people, communities, and ecosystems.
We forge sustainable solutions to critical social, health, and environmental challenges by creating innovative partnerships where they are least likely and most needed.
Since 1977 RESOLVE has been a leader in the field of conflict resolution and consensus building. We have the experience and tools to help you resolve disputes and identify solutions; plan for the future; create, enhance, or sustain partnerships; and strengthen collaborative capacity and leadership.
Our team of expert facilitators and mediators can help enable constructive dialogue to develop a shared understanding of the issues, resolve disputes and differences, reach agreements, and collaboratively develop and test solutions. Through processes such as facilitated interest-based dialogues, joint fact finding, and mediation, we help you address differences, transform relationships, and collaborate to develop meaningful and sustainable solutions to seemingly intractable problems.
We help build the collaborative capacity of the partners, clients, and stakeholders we work with. We assess and design systems and structures within organizations or across coalitions or other collaboratives; provide consultation and advisory services; and offer training, coaching, and mentoring services.
We design and support thoughtful planning and assessment processes. We conduct situation assessments, analyze existing and emerging trends, highlight particular issues or concerns that will need to be addressed, and identify potential future pathways for meaningful progress on complex environmental, health, and social issues. We provide strategic planning services, helping groups develop a shared vision and outline and implement detailed plans for achieving their vision. We also help groups monitor and track progress and impact, foster accountability to goals and commitments, and measure and evaluate their progress and impact.
Please reach out to any member of our team to learn more about these services and how we may be able to support your team or project.
We are a team of collaborative leaders, mediators, policy experts, strategists, scientists, and facilitators.
Insight, experience, and deep, diverse networks characterize our governance group. The Board of Trustees plays a fiduciary role, the Board of Advisors provides strategic insights, and the Leadership Council expands our network and extends our influence.
Solving problems for people and the planet requires working across the divide. RESOLVE was built for this purpose, using not only expertise but creativity, strategic insight, and collaboration. We are mediators and facilitators, scientists and policy experts, strategists, and communicators.

At RESOLVE, we’re here to tackle the toughest global challenges. The ones nobody else wants to touch. Where people are in conflict and planet problems are stuck. We’re here to unstick them. It’s not easy. It takes grit and ingenuity. And finding and working with the right partners. But we’re not called RESOLVE for nothing.
