Working Group: SCCM Board

In the global competition between nations, values that were thought to be secure are being called into question. We are seeing increasing tensions and contradictions. Is a new culture of negotiation now also taking hold in business? How is it possible to remain co-operative in competitive situations and conflicts?

Prominent speakers will try to find answers to these questions during keynote speeches and workshops and at the same time familiarise the participants with the important techniques required; A ‘must’ for all those professionally involved in conflict management, mediation, and leadership.

The conference will be opened by Ambassador Tim Enderlin, Head of the Peace and Human Rights Division at the State Secretariat of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA). Further speakers are:

• Ambassador Pascale Baeriswyl
• Ken Cloke
• George Kohlrieser
• Stephanie Schoss
• Sascha Weigel

Workshops will be led by Stephan Auerbach, Jean-Martin Droz, Irma Endres, Andrea Hartmann-Piraudeau, Julia Jung, George Kohlrieser, Evelyne Peter, Marco Ronzani, Stephanie Schoss, Urs Weber-Stecher, Sascha Weigel and Ljubjana Wüstehube. You also have the opportunity to participate in a simulation event (Markus Berg, Susann Bongers, Daniel Girsberger and Gabriela Renggli), to influence the course of a mediation and to intervene.

On Friday evening, participants will have the opportunity to deepen their dialogue at the conference dinner. Availability is limited, please book early to avoid disappointment.

The event begins on Friday 5^th of September 2025 at the Radisson Hotel in Lucerne. Day 2 will take place at the University of Lucerne.
