WHAT
WE DO
For Organizations
Intra-organizational Mediation
I help executives resolve team conflicts, succession issues, and management buy-outs. I mediate within boards and leadership teams of startups, SMEs, and corporate structures – especially where matrix setups or intercultural tensions are involved.
Project Facilitation
I initiate, lead, and accompany complex design-driven projects, especially in their early phases. I align stakeholder interests, facilitate communication, and support cross-sector collaboration – from funders and science to policy makers, producers, and media.
B2B Mediation
I mediate disputes between organizations – in complex projects, customer or supplier relationships, or negotiations with authorities, NGOs, or international affiliates. I support both conflict resolution and strategic negotiation.
Network Architecture
I support market entry, business expansion, and trust-based relationship building – especially between Romandie and German-speaking Switzerland.
For Private Individuals
Family Mediation
Conflicts in families – separation, inheritance, or parent-child tensions. I help restore dialogue and find sustainable, respectful solutions.
School Mediation
When tensions arise between students, teachers, and parents, I help re-establish trust and a foundation for cooperative solutions.
Neighborhood Mediation
Disputes between neighbors – about noise, property boundaries, pets, or misunderstandings – are addressed with empathy and precision.
Patient Mediation
I mediate between patients, relatives, and healthcare providers – especially when ethical, emotional, or systemic tensions hinder care.
HOW WE WORK.
Culturally sensitive
We cultivate a high level of cultural competence, speak several languages, and take cultural differences seriously. When needed, we consult with cultural experts.
Trauma-informed
We always prioritize the psychological safety of everyone involved. We have expertise and experience with neurodivergence and (C)PTSD.
Trustworthy
We work confidentially, discreetly, and impartially. Understanding and fulfilling your expectations is our top priority. We represent your interests clearly and respectfully.
SUCCESS STORIES.
Expansion von Genf nach Zürich
Fallbeispiel Netzwerkaufbau
Ein KMU aus der Westschweiz möchte in die Deutschschweiz expandieren. Das Problem: Die kulturellen und sprachlichen Hürden erscheinen gross. Deshalb wurde das Projekt Jahr für Jahr verschoben, obwohl die finanziellen Mittel vorhanden waren.
Mit Roestigraben Mediation übernahmen wir die Projektleitung mit einem Pensum von 60 Prozent. Schritt für Schritt entwickeln wir die Organisation, passen die Marke behutsam an die Kultur der Deutschschweiz an und bereiten den Markteintritt in Zürich vor.
Das Vorhaben ist auf Kurs und der Eröffnung in Zürich steht nichts mehr im Weg.
"Ich hab im Team nen Mobbingfall"
Fallbeispiel Team-Mediation
Zwei Abteilungsleiter aus unterschiedlichen Kulturkreisen werfen sich gegenseitig Mobbing vor. Diese Situation blockiert die Zusammenarbeit und belastet das Team. Die Verwaltungsleiterin beauftragte Roestigraben mit einer Mediation.
Nach Einzelgesprächen mit allen Beteiligten begleiteten wir den Klärungsprozess in drei moderierten Sitzungen. Schritt für Schritt entstand gegenseitiges Verständnis, aus dem klare Vereinbarungen für die Zusammenarbeit hervorgingen.
Die Mobbing-Vorwürfe wurden aufgegeben und die beiden arbeiten wieder konstruktiv und erfolgreich zusammen.
Die verstehen sich einfach nicht
Fallbeispiel Projektmanagement
Zwei Organisationen aus der Deutsch- und Westschweiz arbeiten unabhängig voneinander am selben Agrotech-Thema – ohne voneinander zu wissen. Als die Parallelität erkannt wird, beauftragen sie Roestigraben mit der Zusammenführung der Projekte.
In enger Abstimmung mit beiden Seiten entwickeln wir eine gemeinsame Struktur, klären Rollen und bündeln Ressourcen. So wird aus den Ansätzen ein gemeinsames Projekt mit klarer Ausrichtung.
Heute arbeiten die Partner koordiniert zusammen und bringen die Innovation deutlich schneller voran als zuvor.
SUCCESS STORIES.
Mediation between companies
In an environment where regional laws, regulatory requirements, and cultural differences collide, misunderstandings can quickly escalate. Mediation provides balanced, sustainable solutions that preserve relationships and ensure your company moves forward and projects stay on track.
Thanks to our experience living and working in Switzerland, we understand the nuances that often go unspoken in multicultural teams. We systematically examine pain points and prioritize effective, minimally invasive solutions that address problems at their root and strengthen the connections between you and your teams.
Support with team conflicts
Project management "on demand"
Cultural barriers can be subtle and nuanced, making them difficult to detect without the right expertise. Thanks to our experience across various regions of Switzerland, we can identify and address these hidden obstacles early on, ensuring projects are completed on time and within scope.
In Switzerland, long-term relationships are the backbone of success. Our empathetic approach not only improves collaboration between existing relationships but also fosters sustainable growth by building new ones.
Targeted network building
Consulting on expansions
To grow across the Röstigraben, you need to understand more than just cultural differences. You need to know how to navigate local business practices, practical requirements, and communication styles, which vary significantly from region to region. We can help you overcome these obstacles, improve collaboration, and reduce delays.
In a multicultural environment, negotiation success depends on understanding cultural nuances, industry-specific regulations, and regional differences. Röstigraben Mediation can help you expertly navigate this complexity and reach agreements that are not only beneficial but also sustainable.
