Conflict Resolution

Conflict can occur in any organization, at any time, under any circumstance, and between any persons or groups. Often it appears from unexpected sources.

During times of conflict our intuition is often our enemy. As a result, when conflict occurs, it is important thing is to recognize outside help is needed.
The resolution of an organizational dispute requires listening, research, analysis, communication, and new thinking to turn around old patterns of dysfunctional behavior.
Our Process
Our Focus
Our focus is on a multi-layered approach. VI team members begin with a listening process aimed at identifying critical issues and concerns.

We invite various stakeholder groups to be involved in the listening and redirection of the organization, and aim to help the group create an organizational foundation that can support the future direction.


Dispute Resolution
Dispute resolution is a journey of engagement and conversation. There are no magic bullets. There are no easy answers. Ultimately, health comes through taking this journey.

VI offers trained listeners, a sense of humor and guideposts to make a difficult journey memorable and sometimes, enjoyable.
Deeper Organizational Issues
Through highlighting invidual and small group concerns, larger organizational issues begin to emerge. As these issues are identified and understood, the organizational leadership can redirect dysfunctional systemic patterns to enhance growth and healing.
