TKI logo

The TKI helps people identify their preferred approach to conflict, and looks at how to use different styles to cope with various types of conflict situations. It prompts people to think about their reaction to interpersonal friction, and suggests strategies to positively affect the outcome of conflict, both in terms of relationships and results.

  • Transform conflict from wasteful and damaging to constructive and useful

Key features

  • Uniquely measures approaches to conflict against five conflict-handling modes
  • Identifies a preferred mode and how it affects conflict outcomes
  • Provides specific tactics for achieving better outcomes from conflict situations
  • Delivers results you can trust – the TKI is the world’s best-selling and most-researched conflict management tool
  • Can be used with teams or individuals, creating a wholly constructive and positive environment

    A neat and comprehensive model

    Measuring a person's behaviour in relation to two dimensions – competitiveness and co-operation - the TKI acts as a simple but resonant diagnostic. Five different approaches to or 'modes' of handling conflict are revealed, offering insight into potential for change in certain situations. This encourages self-awareness and enables the facilitator to open group discussions around conflict, influencing styles and critical decision-making.

    "There aren’t many situations where doing a TKI analysis isn’t useful – which is why I’ve used it so much; it’s so wonderfully generic and simple. People don’t get stuck on it or debate it or resent being put into a box. It works quickly and effectively".
