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 TKI Book (published in 2023): Mastering the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict-Mode Instrument: Celebrating More Than 50 Years of Resolving All Kinds of Conflicts.
If you would like to take our three TKI-based online courses on conflict resolution skills and conflict resolution strategies, you can purchase The TKI Package at a considerable savings versus buying these online courses separately. Since the GROUP Training course recommends that you take two TKI assessments with modified instructions, the TKI Package also includes, at no extra charge, two TKI assessments … so you can take the TKI twice!
This combination of three online courses and two TKI assessments is the perfect package for consultants, trainers, coaches, and mediators who wish to gain mastery of the TKI for helping individuals, couples, families, work groups, and/or organizations improve their conflict resolution skills and conflict resolution strategies.
SPECIAL BONUS: Every purchase of The TKI Package includes Dr. Kilmann’s latest assessment tool, The Kilmann Organizational Conflict Instrument (KOCI), along with his one-hour video presentation on the development and interpretation of this instrument for identifying your systems conflicts and the conflict resolution strategies you tend to use for resolving those systems conflicts.
CERTIFICATION: When you pass the three Final Exams for (1) BASIC Training in Conflict Management, (2) GROUP Training in Conflict Management, and (3) ADVANCED Training in Conflict Management, you’ll receive a personalized certificate to signify your achievement: Certification in the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument.
ADDED BONUS: When you earn your TKI Certification, you’ll also receive our specially designed TKI Certification Logo, which you can place on your website to showcase your acquired expertise in using the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument to help individuals, groups, and organizations further enhance their conflict resolution skills and conflict resolution strategies.
What is the single best reason for taking The TKI Package? You’ll be learning how to use the TKI accurately and to its full potential directly from its co-creator: Dr. Ralph H. Kilmann. It doesn’t get any better than that!

Kilmann Diagnostics is dedicated to resolving conflict throughout the world, which is addressed in this package of three recorded online courses by providing you with the deep knowledge and the practical tools for learning: (1) how to interpret individual TKI Profiles, (2) how to develop and interpret Group TKI Profiles, and (3) how to help organizational members develop the conflict resolution skills and strategies for addressing their most complex conflicts—within and across all subunit boundaries. Be prepared to experience many eureka (aha) moments!
DOWNLOAD THREE BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED COURSE MANUALS: This course collection comes with a downloadable manual for each of our three courses on conflict management—for a grand total of 222 pages. Each manual includes an image of every presentation slide, Dr. Kilmann's personalized notes, reference material, and space for note taking. As a total, the three course manuals provide the most comprehensive materials for understanding and using the renowned TKI assessment tool.
See Sample Manual for Conflict ResolutionLEARN HOW TO USE THE TKI ASSESSMENT TOOL FOR INDIVIDUALS, GROUPS, AND ORGANIZATIONS: In The TKI Package, you'll hear Dr. Ralph Kilmann's crystal-clear voice explain in three online courses: (1) how to interpret a great variety of individual TKI Profiles; (2) how to develop and interpret the more intricate Group TKI Profiles, based on each member taking the TKI twice with modified instructions; and (3) how to ensure that members use their enhanced conflict resolutions skills inside their organization.
TAKE TWO—FREE—TKI ASSESSMENTS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE TKI PACKAGE: One of our courses, GROUP Training in Conflict Management, recommends that you take the TKI assessment twice: one TKI is for INSIDE your group; while the second TKI is for OUTSIDE your group (in all other settings in your life). That’s why The TKI Package also includes your two TKI assessments, so you can experience what it’s like to take two different TKIs and then interpret the insightful results for the members of any group.
TAKE A FREE ASSESSMENT TOOL THAT WILL IDENTIFY YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPE AT WORK: In the TKI Package, you are also provided with Kilmanns Personality Style Instrument for assessing psychological type specific to work situations: ST, NT, SF, and NF. These four fundamentally different ways of collecting information and making decisions are regularly used to magnify and then resolve radically different approaches to complex problems and conflicts in any group or organization.
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, which augments your conflict resolution skills.
LEARN ABOUT GROUP PROCESS AND PROBLEM MANAGEMENT: In The TKI Package, you’ll also learn the ten key principles of group process (planning vs. doing, testing assumptions, and more). You’ll then 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. Indeed, the PMO provides the most pragmatic conflict resolution strategies for today's organizations, institutions, and nations.
ENJOY YOUR USER-FRIENDLY ACCESS TO EACH SEPARATE ONLINE COURSE: For your convenience, there is a single “landing page” for The TKI Package that not only presents a concise description of every course, but also provides the links so you can take each course in the recommended sequence. On each separate course page, you will then be able to download your course manual, watch the course videos, consider reading some optional articles or blogs on the topic, and then take your optional Final Exam.
