In collaboration with the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China
Conflict is present in every organization, and if people are resolving their conflicts with win-win outcomes, the result can be effective teamwork. Whether in far-reaching international diplomacy or the immediate response to a local crisis, developing successful alternatives to conflict requires firm command of the practice of negotiation. If conflicts aren't resolved, working relationships erode and the result is a growing morale problem that needs attention.
The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to welcome Kirk Kinnell, Faculty Member and Negotiation Expert at Schranner Negotiation, and Lars-Åke Severin, CEO & Founder of PSU China, who powered by their passion for conflict management, will help participants through their most challenging situations.

Kirk has recently retired, having been a police officer since 1987 and was first exposed to the world of Hostage Negotiation in 1995, having since been deployed to approximately two hundred hostage and crisis negotiator incidents.
A highly experienced negotiator, Kirk has been deployed as the lead negotiator on a number of occasions where UK nationals have been kidnapped abroad.
He has instructed on Hostage and Crisis Negotiation since 2001, within the UK and abroad. As the recent Head of Hostage Negotiation and Armed Policing in Scotland, he has a unique insight into both disciplines, which complement each other in the resolution of conflict.
He was also a leading member of the UK National Negotiator Group and Global International Negotiators Working Group, where he proposed and subsequently implemented a global Counter Terrorism Strategy and Training Programme, which was adopted by all nations represented.
He has been invited to speak at various National Conferences including Columbus Ohio, Sweden, Dubai, Japan and has instructed internationally at the Hostage Crisis Negotiator Course of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in Quantico, Virginia, USA.
He has represented the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) on the U.K. Government Counter Terrorist Bilateral Assistance Programme by training the Philippine National Police.
He was also recently the lead advisor to U.S. Law Enforcement through the Police Executive Research Forum and produced models for Conflict Resolution, Decision Making and De-escalation of Force, having designed a training strategy for implementation across the USA, attending events in Savannah, Boston, New York and Washington.
He has been sharing his experience and delivering training to the private sector on business negotiation, listening and influencing skills throughout the U.K. and beyond to places like New Zealand, Brazil, Singapore, Dubai, Republic of Ireland, Holland and Denmark.
