Patrick Oh brings a consultant's view of conflict to this course: disagreements at work are rarely about personalities alone, and they are usually resolved by understanding interests, facts and responsibilities. A Singapore Certified Management Consultant listed by TUV SUD and the principal behind SG Venture Consulting, he works as a governance, risk and compliance (GRC) consultant and advises organisations on performance management, solutions design and corporate compliance. He is CIPM certified by the IAPP and has provided Singapore PDPA consultancy for more than 13 years, according to a training-provider trainer profile. He is also an implementer and auditor of ISO management systems, including quality, environmental and ISO 14064 greenhouse gas accounting systems, and he is involved in community development and sustainability practice. Before consulting he worked for years as an automation design engineer, a background that shaped his habit of tracing a problem back to its root cause rather than treating its symptoms.

These strands map directly onto the course. Compliance, audit and change engagements routinely put Patrick between stakeholders whose priorities pull in different directions, so the topics on assessing a conflict situation, validating information and its history, and recognising early indicators reflect situations he deals with in practice. When learners explore resolution strategies, communication and negotiation for team conflicts, he frames them the way an adviser must: listening to every party, separating positions from underlying needs and handling sensitive issues with discretion. The final topic on the scope of responsibilities for managing team conflicts connects naturally with his governance and performance management work, where clear roles and agreed processes prevent many disputes from starting at all. By the end of the course, learners can diagnose the causes of a conflict, choose a suitable resolution approach, conduct the difficult conversation with confidence and put measures in place that protect collaboration and keep the team focused on shared results.

Terence Ee is an experienced CIO and IT leader with more than 25 years in technology management, government systems planning and organisational leadership. He has served as Chief Information Officer at the Supreme Court of Singapore and Vice President of Information Systems at Senoko Energy, where he led large teams through digital transformation and organisational change. Since 2017 he has worked as an independent consultant and ACLP-certified trainer, focusing on leadership and collaboration in the workplace, and his facilitation emphasises case studies, simulations and hands-on practice.

In this WSQ course on conflict resolution, Terence shares strategies for addressing and resolving conflict within cross-functional and high-pressure teams, drawing on his experience of leading people through change. Learners assess conflict situations, recognise early indicators, and validate the history and causes of a dispute before choosing a resolution strategy. He provides practical approaches to communication, negotiation and consensus-building, and explores the manager's scope of responsibility, organisational policies and how to coach team members to resolve conflict themselves. The course closes with reviewing the effectiveness of resolutions and preventing recurrence. His pragmatic, experience-driven teaching helps participants manage conflict with confidence while maintaining team cohesion, trust and productivity.

Ken Hiong is a finance and business analyst turned trainer with over 20 years of experience in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry, where he held functional and managerial roles in sales, marketing, business development, finance, business analysis and planning. His career includes roles at Pfizer Singapore, Pharmacia and SciGen, partnering with management teams on financial analysis, planning and stakeholder alignment. He graduated with a Pharmacy degree and holds a Master of Business Administration from the National University of Singapore and a Master of Applied Finance from the University of Adelaide.

Ken has conducted WSQ programmes in Microsoft Office, Power BI and workplace communication, and in conflict resolution training he integrates analytical thinking with interpersonal communication. In this course, he guides learners in identifying conflict triggers and early indicators, validating the causes and history of a conflict, and applying structured problem-solving to choose the most suitable resolution strategy. Participants practise communication and negotiation techniques for team conflicts, consider organisational policies and the coaching of team members, and learn to review how well a resolution has worked so that conflicts do not recur. His learner-centric approach helps participants build the confidence and skills to manage conflict constructively, strengthening teamwork and organisational success.
