 Consensus Middle East Enters Second Year January 2, 2010 (Jerusalem) … Launched during the biggest recession seen in decades, Consensus’ Middle East office saw unusual successes in its first year of operations. The firm’s management reports that the office is well poised for growth during its second year. Consensus, a global negotiation and conflict resolution firm, opened its Middle East offices in Jerusalem a year ago. The consultancy has long performed work throughout the region, ranging from private sector work to peace building initiatives and to high-profile security-related work. According to CEO Michael Rosenthal, it made sense to establish a formal presence in the region. “In the last year alone, we’ve undertaken engagements in Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza/West Bank, Israel, and Turkey, to name some of the areas,” said Rosenthal. “Not only does it make sense for the firm to have an office in the region for local engagements, but our Middle East office also provides new options for staffing engagements in other areas of the world, including Europe, South Asia, and the Far East – where reduced travel times and fewer disparities in time zones increase our operating efficiencies, and the lower travel expenses have obvious financial benefits to our clients.” In addition to its private sector and public sector work in the region, Consensus professionals teach graduate level courses at Middle Eastern universities such as the Lebanese American University, Sabanci University, and IDC Herzliya.
