Course Description:
Dispute Systems Design is the process of identifying, designing, employing, and evaluating an effective method by which your organization can resolve internal conflicts. In a professional setting, conflict is inevitable. Work is a place where individuals with different life experiences, values, needs, interests, and intentions find themselves as part of a team, utilizing diverse skill sets to work toward a common goal - the success of the business. Add to that the fact that most professionals believe that work is not only necessary for their survival and economic wellbeing, but also the center of one’s identity and purpose, and the potential for conflict multiplies exponentially. Each workplace is unique, but the fact that disputes arise is consistent. This class will teach students a brief history of dispute resolution models, and then show how, by using a foundation of mindfulness toward your businesses employees/stakeholders, you can revise an existing dispute resolution system or design one from scratch utilizing an analytic framework in dispute design.
