Dispute system design (also commonly known as integrated conflict management systems design) is a way of looking at conflict that goes beyond resolving individual disputes. Instead, conflict is viewed from a broad perspective with the goal of putting processes in place to prevent, manage, and resolve conflict by creating systems or processes that recognize the frequent types of conflict arising in an organization.
Mediation is a flexible, confidential procedure in which one or more third neutral persons as mediators assists to the parties of a dispute at their attempt to reach a friendly binding and enforceable settlement agreement.
During a course of mediation disputants may agree to require from a mediator to recommend or propose to them possible terms of friendly settlement.
Arbitration is a confidential, adjudicatory dispute resolution, referred upon an agreement of the disputants to a sole arbitrator or panel of arbitrators who are authorized to issue binding and enforceable arbitration award.
Med-arb is a hybrid confidential fast track proceeding of combined mediation and arbitration. In case when parties cannot reach an agreement within mediation, a mediator takes a role of an arbitrator and issues an arbitration award.
Arb-med is a hybrid confidential fast track proceeding of combined arbitration and mediation. An arbitrator after completing accelerated arbitration seals an award in an envelope and continues with mediation. If the parties cannot reach an agreement in due time, the arbitrator issues the award.
