Facilitation

When people work together, whether in an office, on a volunteer board, or in a community setting, conflict almost inevitably arises.

The conflicts may be personal, they may be professional, or they may be philosophical, but they are almost always rooted in communication problems that can be improved by working with one of YuKan Conflict Resolution's Facilitators. You will find that bringing us in as an objective third party to do an assessment of the problems can be extremely beneficial as we can conduct an individualized conflict assessment. 

Following the assessment, our Facilitators will prepare a report containing the results of the assessment, conclusions, and potential recommendations for the organization to consider. Recommendations might include one or more facilitated meetings, mediation, med-arb, and/or training for some or all of the parties involved. You will then be able to consider the assessment and decide which of the recommended actions, if any, should be pursued.
