THE COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO PROBLEM-SOLVING
IN THE WORKPLACE
AGENDA
Disputes in our professional lives are a regular occurrence. The challenge is to determine
the best way to address problems without spending inordinate amounts of time, energy
and money – and at the same time maintain sanity. Everyone has his/her definition of the
costs of conflict – lost productivity, strained relationships, lost trust are but a few – and yet
we seem to cling to old ways of solution. Experience has demonstrated that when
disputes are resolved through a collaborative process, costs are reduced and internal and
external relationships are preserved. Energy and resources are focused on settling the
matter in a cost-effective and time efficient manner that is confidential, meets legal muster
and is lasting. This seminar will offer for your consideration alternative approaches to
dealing with and managing conflict in the workplace.
