When you are in business you have to be prepared for all sorts of eventualities. You simply cannot rely on everything going smoothly. Now and again things will go wrong. How you react will have a significant impact on how strong your company is once it comes out of the other side.

Yet, most businesses are not adequately prepared for things like dealing with disputes. We all tend to automatically take a combative approach, which usually leads to a long and costly argument with the other party. Often, we inadvertently end up having to allow the courts to sort out things that start as relatively minor disputes.

Fortunately, there is another way. Below, we take a look at alternative dispute resolution for business and organization owners. An approach that, as you will see, has many potential benefits.

Enables you to get another point of view

It does not matter how rational and reasonable you try to be, it is hard to be truly objective. The way we see things is affected by our own experience. Plus, we all tend to think that we are right, and the other party is wrong. We cannot see things from their point of view. 

These natural thought patterns usually lead to us coming up with a solution that heavily favours us. A way of handling things that is impossible for the other party to accept. In some cases, literally physically impossible. 

When you engage someone to look objectively at the situation on your behalf all of those potential pitfalls disappear. They are capable of seeing the whole picture and understanding the true situation. Mostly because they will not be swayed by emotion. 

Enables you to tap into a wealth of knowledge

Perhaps more importantly, the fact that they deal with disputes day in and day out means that they have far more experience of those situations than you. Their greater understanding means that they know how a relatively small dispute can quickly spiral out of control. The resolution of which can drag on for years. 

They are also far more knowledgeable about how to resolve all kinds of issues. Often, they will have dealt with these things in the past, probably many times. As a result, they know what approaches work and which ones just lead to more issues.

Potentially saves you time and money

The fact that a mediator can quickly come up with fast ways to resolve the situation will save you time and money. You won't be left thrashing around not knowing what to do.

Far less stressful

Being able to largely hand over the responsibility of settling the dispute will bring you peace of mind. It will free you up to dedicate more time to growing your business. Far better than having to spend time and energy arguing with someone.
