WHY DO YOU NEED DISPUTE RESOLUTION?


DISPUTE RESOLUTION

is directed towards reaching solutions. While past circumstances may be mentioned, dispute resolution is not focused on analysis of the past; it is future oriented.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

produces creative solutions "owned" by the participants. Participants develop and agree to the solutions themselves.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

creates a sense of involvement and satisfaction for the participants. There are no losers.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

is a time saver. Many problems can be resolved in two hours. Even disputes which take several sessions before resolution are more productive and less exhausting than other methods of problem solving.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

allows for continued relationships. Because paricipants feel successful and dignity is preserved, people can continue to live and work together after a dispute.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

can help parties avoid the extremes of firing, resignation, on-going quarrels, separation or litigation.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

once modeled, allows participants to practice more effective problem-solving on their own.
