For Yourself
Our 8-hour, recorded online course, ADVANCED Training in Conflict Management (including a 134-page Course Manual), provides an in-depth and far-reaching understanding of the TKI assessment. For example, you’ll learn how certain enduring psychological traits predispose people to use different modes for resolving conflict. Once you become aware of the connection between your traits and your modes, however, you’ll find it easier to use each conflict-handling mode as needed.
In this advanced course, you’ll also learn the ten key principles of group process and then you’ll learn the five steps of problem management. And finally, all these key principles and action steps are all combined in the Problem Management Organization, or PMO for short.

Purchasing the TKI and MBTI Assessments
Although you’re not required to purchase the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument or the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (since you might have taken these assessments during the past few years and still have access to your results), completing these assessments again, close in time to taking this course, will likely enhance your understanding of the key connections between conflict modes and psychological types in the workplace—and elsewhere in your life.

Passing this Final Exam also counts toward earning your Certification in Conflict & Change Management with the Thomas-Kilmann Instrument or your Certification in the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument, if you subsequently decide to upgrade to one of our two course collections, The Complete Program or The TKI Package, respectively.

How to Resolve Complex Conflicts and Problems in Organizations
Our 8-hour ADVANCED Training (including a 134-page Course Manual) provides an in-depth and far-reaching understanding of the TKI assessment. For example, you’ll learn how certain enduring psychological traits predispose people to use different modes for resolving conflict. Once you become aware of the connection between your traits and your modes, however, you’ll find it easier to use each conflict-handling mode as needed.
In this advanced course, you’ll also learn the ten key principles of group process and then you’ll learn the five steps of problem management. And finally, all these key principles and action steps are all combined in the Problem Management Organization, or PMO for short. In a nutshell, this more advanced material is precisely what will allow you to use the TKI to help resolve conflicts and problems in complex systems, including organizations, communities, and nations.
Watch our FREE, very informative, Videos About the Thomas-Kilmann Instrument and Your Conflict Resolution Skills. You can also read many Full-Length TKI Articles and TKI Blogs. Lastly, you’ll learn a lot from Dr. Kilmann’s question-and-answer exchanges: FAQs About the TKI Assessment.
If you want to read the most up-to-date and comprehensive information about the TKI tool in one single document, consider purchasing Dr. Kilmann’s first (and only) TKI Book (published in 2023): Mastering the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict-Mode Instrument: Celebrating More Than 50 Years of Resolving All Kinds of Conflicts.
NOTE: The ADVANCED Training course does NOT include your TKI or your MBTI assessment. Instead, if you wish to take the these assessments just before or during the course, you’ll have to Purchase the TKI and Purchase the MBTI separately. This arrangement allows us to keep the price of the course below what it would be if we bundled both the TKI and MBTI with the course. Many people who purchase this course have previously taken these two assessments and, as such, don’t want to purchase them again. Just so you know, we do include two TKI assessments with our two course collections: The TKI Package and The Complete Program.
BENEFITS OF TAKING THIS COURSE FOR
RESOLVING COMPLEX CONFLICTS AND PROBLEMS
DOWNLOAD YOUR BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED COURSE MANUAL: This online course comes with a 134-page downloadable manual that includes an image of every presentation slide, Dr. Kilmann's personalized notes, reference material, and space for note taking.
See Sample Manual for Conflict Resolution
LEARN MUCH MORE THAN WHAT’S POSSIBLE FROM OUR BASIC COURSE: In an 8-hour recorded course, you'll hear Dr. Ralph Kilmann's crystal-clear voice explain the TKI assessment in much greater detail—and depth—than what is possible with our much shorter BASIC Training course.
TAKE A FREE ASSESSMENT TOOL THAT WILL IDENTIFY YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPE AT WORK: In this course, you are provided with Kilmanns Personality Style Instrument for assessing psychological type specific to work situations: ST, NT, SF, and NF. Those four major types are regularly used to highlight and then resolve radically different approaches to complex problems throughout our entire series of online courses.
LEARN HOW YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPE AFFECTS YOUR USE OF THE FIVE CONFLICT MODES: In ADVANCED Training, Dr. Kilmann thoroughly examines how certain enduring psychological traits predispose people to use different modes for resolving conflict. Once you become aware of the connection between your traits and your modes, however, you’ll find it easier to use each conflict-handling mode as needed.
LEARN ABOUT GROUP PROCESS AND THE FIVE CONFLICT MODES: You’ll then learn the ten key principles of group process (planning vs. doing, testing assumptions, decomposing the task, process vs. content, conflict-handling modes, and more), which enhance what is covered in the GROUP Training course and is later expanded in the Team Management Course.
LEARN ABOUT PROBLEM MANAGEMENT AND THE TKI CONFLICT MODEL: You’ll next learn the five steps—and errors—of problem management (sensing problems, defining problems, deriving solutions, implementing solutions, and evaluating outcomes), which are the ultimate source of all conflicts in organizations.
LEARN HOW TO DESIGN A PROBLEM MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION: The foregoing principles and practices are then combined into the Problem Management Organization, or PMO for short, which enables groups and organizations to resolve their most complex problems and conflicts—efficiently and effectively.
