Nearly any dispute can benefit from Conflict Resolution. Because the goal is to help people solve problems in a peaceful, constructive manner, and without going to court, Conflict Resolution is a good choice in most any situation.
You can use the process to settle disputes between co-workers, management and employees, your company and competitors, your company and environmental or public policy makers, health care disputes … the list is endless. Whether you hire a mediator, who helps you see each others’ points of view and come to an agreement, or a conciliator who meets with you individually to make concessions on behalf of each party, you’re sure to learn better communication skills, see whether the other party is coming from, set a good example to others of how to handle a conflict, and end a dispute before it gets ugly. And ugly could be physical violence, ruined reputations, legal involvement, and possibly high court costs.
