Conflict is normal in the workplace. When managed well, it offers opportunities for creativity and diversity. When unmanaged, it can have a damaging impact on the wellbeing of people and the organisation’s productivity. It can be a high hidden cost for your organisation. RoundTable provides system analysis and design solutions that support organisations in managing conflict effectively and routinely at early stages. We can build a bespoke system that works for your organisation.
Facilitation provides teams, groups, and departments the opportunity of working collaboratively and collectively, with an independent third party, to reach a decision, resolve an issue, or generate creative ideas. It draws on the energy of the group to focus on the specific objective of their meetings. It is flexible and responsive to the needs of the group.
