Conflict Resolution

The process of aiming to solve a conflict, which may typically be a problem which has arisen from a disagreement, a dislike of something or someone, a strong difference of opinion, or similar, between two or more parties. Involving and actively engaging affected parties is essential if a successful outcome addressing most or all of the problem or problems, which is mutually acceptable to all parties, is to be agreed. If underlying issues are not adequately resolved, but essentially suppressed by reluctant agreement from one or more parties then this is only storing up problems for the future, an unsatisfactory outcome can, discretely at first, affect the effective and efficient running of an organisation and it will only be a matter of time before the conflict flares up again, potentially creating more problems than if it was resolved appropriately in the first place.
