Alternative Dispute Solutions: An Essential Competency For Business Leaders
Alternative dispute resolution or ADR has become an essential competency in the twenty-first century. Negotiation, mediation, arbitration, early neutral evaluation, mini-trials and facilitated settlement are quickly becoming preferred alternatives to expensive and time consuming litigation in court. The need to understand and master ADR techniques is established by four key trends: (1) the growing expense of litigation; (2) the declining incidence of trials; (3) the attitudes and expectations of business organizations; and (4) the possibility of better solutions and results.
In this program, participants learn:
The options available for ADR
The benefits and disadvantages of ADR methods
Tips for effective arbitration strategy and mediation advocacy
The key trends creating a growing need to ADR expertise
Legal trends affecting the use of ADR as a problem solving tool
How businesses save millions through more effective dispute solutions strategies
