Conflict in any organisation can do enormous damage. Mistakenly, disputes are often left to fester and thereby become more difficult to resolve. MFI recommends that qualified mediators be brought into disputes as early as possible to increase the chances of achieving a successful outcome and therefore a more productive organisation

The results are that very challenging disputes can be quietly resolved, working relationships can be restored and the people concerned can return to full productivity.
