Scenario: This is a four party, multi-issue, team decision involving the development of a new account system. The HR representative serves as facilitator. The exercise examines ways that a fifth party, the facilitator, assists the process of consensus building in a tense conflict situation. Key lessons include:
Gathering information about interests and options.
Packaging agreements across interests that are valued differently.
Managing a process of agreement through coalition building.
Practicing the functions and responsibilities of human resource facilitators.
