About
Hello, my name is Ben Ziegler.
I am a collaboration consultant and mediator, based out of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
My consulting experience spans 3 decades, starting with work in the civil engineering field (construction project management, surveying, planning), 15 years with large systems integrators (business analysis, project management, implementation support), and most recently as an independent consultant to programs and projects, in various capacity-building, consensus-building, and implementation support roles.
I also work as a mediator, and have done so since 2001, successfully mediating hundreds of civil and commercial disputes. For 3 years, I worked as online mediator of eBay disputes. Currently, I am a mediator and mentor in the BC Court Mediation Program, and also conduct private, out-of-court, mediations.
I believe in sustainable business practices; both locally, where I’m a director of the Victoria Values-Based Business Network (a network of local businesses focused on triple bottom-line practices), and afar, through my work as a volunteer advisor with the Canadian Executive Service Organization (my most recent assignment (2009) was in the Philippines, as part of an international, collaborative e-Governance project).
I’m optimistic about individuals and organizations realizing their collaborative potential, and seek out opportunities to help people work better together, get back on track after disputes arise, and communicate positive messages and stories.
Enjoy your visit and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions, suggestions, or are in need of assistance.
