Disputes and conflicts arise when two or more
parties promote their own positions, needs and/or interests over and against
each others’ positions and interests.
A dispute is found in the fact of the opposing
positions and interests. A conflict is
recognised when parties actively promote their opposing positions and
interests - to the perceived cost or detriment of the other.
All disputes and conflicts are damaging, expensive and wasteful. They
feed on egos and vulnerabilities while consuming enormous amounts of time,
money, resources and emotional energy. Serious, unmanaged conflicts
often destroy individuals, organisations, businesses, families and communities.
The right response to conflict can produce dispute solutions
– positive outcomes from what may look like hopelessly
negative situations.
Dispute Solutions (the company) produces better outcomes than litigation
in most cases, because we focus on resolving issues, rather than on winning
contests. By using intelligent, issues-based, problem solving processes
designed to minimise risk and collateral damage to businesses and individuals,
we can usually cut the physical, emotional and commercial costs of conflict
by up to 90%.
If you are serious about yourself, your partner, your family, your business
or your organisation and really do want to find the best solution
for your problem or dispute - talk to us, with or without your professional
advisers, and we will develop and deliver a positive and constructive
response that offers you your best chance of achieving a "best
possible outcome" from your conflict situation.
