How can
conflict be resolved ?
There
is general recognition that mediation is helpful
in formal conflicts, which may potentially end up in court. The
different types of traditional mediation are
- Family
mediation e.g. children
issues in divorce and separation
- Commercial
mediation e.g. disputes
over contracts between companies
- Civil
mediation e.g. neighbour
disputes
- Workplace
mediation e.g.
disciplinary issues
Clearly,
all of these can have impact on business performance to as
greater or
lesser extent; indeed, as accredited Commercial mediators, we offer
such mediation as part of our service. However, there are
also broader conflict issues in Business, which are different
in
some very
important respects :
- They may not be
related to 'formal'
issues;
if unaddressed, conflicts within businesses can have harmful effects on
the people and the business, but they would generally not end up in
court.
- They
encompass both
explicit conflict and conflict 'below the surface'.
- There are often
conflicts involving
key individuals in the business e.g conflicts in the board room,
between
teams, or conflicts caused by an organisational
'culture'
- There is a need to
focus on
'preventative' as
well as 'curative' action e.g. minimising the adverse effects of
structural/process changes
