About Us Insight Partners is a privately held company founded in 2002 by Harvard graduates Patrick McWhinney and David Seibel. The company is composed of established experts in conflict management. These hand-picked executive consultants combine their practices with academic excellence, having taught at Harvard Law School, Georgetown University Law Center, Boston College Law School, Northeastern University, Dartmouth College, the University of Toronto, the University of Windsor, Queen’s University and other top academies.
Our clients are primarily corporations, governments and non-governmental organizations working in fields such as financial services, technology, insurance, pharmaceuticals, retail, advertising, manufacturing and health services. They return to us and recommend us because we deliver results.
Our approach to conflict management is based on ideas developed at the Harvard Negotiation Project and outlined in the best-selling books Getting To Yes (Fisher and Ury, 1981) and Difficult Conversations (Stone, Heen and Patton, 1999). Over the past decade, our consultants have worked as part of the Harvard Negotiation Project and affiliated consulting firms to develop leading theory and advice on conflict management. At the heart of our methodology is the assumption that good substantive results do not need to come at the expense of strong working relationships.
Our corporate training workshops are intensive, highly interactive programs that rapidly develop essential conflict management skills. Content includes basic and advanced courses in negotiation, effective communication, strategic relationship management, conflict management, mediation and much more. In-house programs are customized beforehand using diagnostic interviews. Public open enrollment courses give individuals and small teams access to the same concepts and tools on a per person basis. |
