CDP Certification (May 2024)

The CONFLICT DYNAMICS PROFILE® (CDP) is a powerful assessment developed to prevent harmful conflict in the workplace. Backed by sound psychometrics and solid evidence of reliability and validity, this instrument provides managers and employees with a greater awareness of how they respond when faced with conflict.

Individual feedback is an essential part of the CDP process. Each person’s individual results are delivered by a trained practitioner and include both explanation of the instrument and dialogue about the results. Since this feedback session is so important to the value of the instrument, we require that the CDP be administered only by certified professionals.
