He gave similar talks in Jordan[5] and the European Parliament. He was an adviser on the Gibbons Review[6] into UK workplace practices.

He attended a meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Alternative Dispute Resolution[7] and was honorary secretary for the Civil Mediation Council[8] until 2015. His research on mediation and organisation diagnosis in the National Health Service was shortlisted for an award by the Association for Business Psychology in 2017.[9]
