MODULE 4

Conflict Management and Enabling of a ‘Perfect’ Ending

7. Concluding Comments

  • Conflict or divergence of views to some extent is inevitable within all collaborative/cooperative arrangements
  • Successful collaborative/cooperative arrangements will manage conflict and disagreement by proactively addressing the issue
  • Conflict management should be planned for from the outset
  • Collaborative/cooperative arrangements may end due to conflict or circumstances (death/illness/retirement)
  • The number of members involved can influence whether the arrangement ends or not – the exit of a member from a small collaboration/cooperative could mean the end while the exit of one member from a larger collaboration/cooperative may not have the same impact
  • Written agreements and planning for conflict and ending of collaborative/cooperative arrangements in advance are key to successful outcomes
  • External assistance may be required to achieve a successful outcome
