WEBINAR: Understanding Conciliation

https://www.conflictmanagementacademy.com/webinar-understanding-conciliation/

Join Shiv Martin, a leading conciliation practitioner, trainer and consultant for an engaging virtual session on Conciliation, an evolving area of dispute resolution, particularly in the public service.

Conciliation offers a dispute resolution process that blends mediation skills and process with the legal and regulatory objectives of larger organisations. Conciliators perform a balancing act between building awareness and trust between parties while ensuring outcomes that align with broader public interest objectives.

As a profession, conciliation is a pathway for many mediators seeking the regular commitment of a dispute resolution role within a statutory or regulatory organisation.

For organisations, conciliation offers an opportunity to resolve conflicts early and informally, harnessing the relationship building benefits of mediation while ensuring the promotion of broader objectives.

In this session Shiv will explore the philosophy of conciliation, provide you with a simple definition and consider its application in various sectors. This session is particularly relevant to mediators, lawyers, human resources or public service professionals, wanting to better understand how conciliation fits into their practice.

Topics:

1. Understand the Role and Function of Conciliation in Dispute Resolution

  • Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of conciliation as a hybrid dispute resolution process that blends interest-based and rights-based approaches. We will explore how it is distinguished (or not) from other dispute resolution models.

2. Identify the Key Stages and Features of a Conciliation Process

  • We will explore the overall stages of a conciliation and the common features of a conciliation process, as well as understanding how the process is adapted depending on the context.

3. Evaluate the Different Contexts and Applications of Conciliation

  • We will examine how conciliation is applied across various sectors, including regulatory bodies, tribunals, and public service settings and discuss the benefits and challenges of using conciliation in these different contexts.
