OTPIC Officially Retired
As of December 2, 2005, the Online Training Program on Intractable Conflict (OTPIC) has been officially retired, and is no longer open to new registrations. The successor to OTPIC is a course called Dealing Constructively with Intractable Conflicts (DCIC). The new curriculum is built around one of our major projects, Beyond Intractability, and offers a much more extensive and informative set of learning materials than that available through OTPIC. |

If mediation has been tried once and has failed, parties often will not be willing to
try mediation again, even if the earlier problem has been corrected. For example, if
mediation was tried before a conflict was ripe for mediation, the parties may be unwilling
to try again, even when the timing is better. Similarly, if mediation fails because the
mediator is not adequately skilled or was unfair, a better mediator may not be able to
overcome the negative stigma generated by his or her predecessor. The parties are more
likely to give up on mediation, and rely on force to get their needs met.
