At Raab Associates, Ltd., we
provide expert facilitation and mediation services. We run
effective meetings keeping participants focused on the subject
matter at hand, providing an atmosphere conducive to real dialogue
and consensus building. We also actively assist stakeholders
in reaching mutually beneficial agreements and comprehensive
settlements. By employing the latest technology, we ensure
that the entire process is efficient and smooth. Often, we
conduct detailed conflict assessments prior to commencing a project
by interviewing key stakeholders. We also utilize joint
fact-finding and single-text document development techniques during
the course of negotiations.
With particular expertise on
energy, environmental, and regulatory issues, Raab Associates has
served as a neutral third party on a wide range of subject matters
including telecommunications, land-use issues, public health,
education policy, organizational design, and scientific research.
We have particular expertise in complex, multi-party disputes often
involving 15-25 different stakeholder groups.
Dr. Raab, an accomplished
mediator and facilitator, serves on the mediation and arbitration
panels for the PJM Power Pool, and on the dispute resolution rosters
for the Environmental Protection Agency and the US Institute for
Environmental Conflict Resolution. He is also a member of the
Society for Professionals in Dispute Resolution.
