Guided Choice:  Innovations in Mediation
to Get Better Settlements at Less Cost
May 12, 2014

Most complex commercial disputes settle before awards and judgments. Yet, when a dispute arises today's litigation community often resists amicable resolution before engaging in extensive, costly, adversarial proceedings and discovery.   These activities often result in substantial delay, increased animosities, and destruction of valuable relationships.    Yet some adjustors and lawyers are not comfortable recommending settlement without going down that "traditional" path.

The Guided Choice Process, the newest mediation innovation, offers a means to achieve earlier settlements, reducing the time and cost of dispute resolution, and increasing user satisfaction. In this 60-minute webinar your experienced presenters will show you how following the Guided Choice blueprint can lead to better results.

During this program you will learn-


  *   How to convince parties to use a  facilitated collaborative information exchange using  mediation, rather than  resorting to adversarial court/arbitration discovery processes
  *   Why negotiation impasse is not a reason to terminate  a mediated settlement process
  *   The human factors that cause even the most entrenched disputants to settle
  *   Why settlement negotiation should  occur after a mediator's  confidential diagnosis  of the cause(s) of impasse
  *    Why a mediator's conflict diagnosis is important to the recommended mediation design process.

  *   How the Guided Choice is initiated
  *   Finding Guided Choice mediators

You have probably heard many times that Mediation is a process, not an event. It is a process that should be customized to the particulars of a dispute. The Guided Choice process will show you how.
