Strategic and contextual understanding
Our approach begins with a thorough understanding of the specific context of the conflict, including both external factors, such as community dynamics and stakeholder roles, and internal factors, such as the company's actions and those of its contractors. This comprehensive assessment ensures that the resolution strategy is tailored to the unique challenges of each situation.

Flexibility and adaptability
We see conflict resolution as a dynamic process that requires flexibility and adaptability. Our approach involves designing and implementing intervention plans that are not only strategic but also adaptable to changing circumstances. The process includes building the capacity of the company's staff to handle the ups and downs of the resolution process, ensuring that they can respond effectively to new developments.

Multi-faceted and comprehensive solutions
Our conflict resolution strategies are often multi-faceted, involving a combination of direct dialogue, third-party mediation, government involvement, and the establishment of independent bodies to evidence solutions. The approach is comprehensive, addressing not just the immediate conflict but also the underlying issues that may contribute to long-term instability.

Risk management and preparedness
Recognising the risks involved, especially when dealing with volatile situations or criminal armed groups, our approach includes meticulous preparation and risk management. This involves securing government sanction for engagements, using trusted intermediaries for high-risk negotiations, and maintaining transparency throughout the process. Preparedness also means having a clear plan for managing potential failure, ensuring that even in difficult situations, the company maintains its integrity and minimises further risks.

Direct engagement and ownership
A key principle in our approach is the importance of direct company-community engagement. We emphasise that companies should not outsource their community interface but instead should maintain direct and ongoing dialogue with stakeholders. This direct engagement helps in building trust and strengthening long-term relationships, which are crucial for sustainable conflict resolution.

Use of external expertise
While client leadership of conflict resolution is key, our approach also recognises the value of external expertise. This can include strategy reviews, process design, technical advice, capacity-building, and even field negotiations. External experts can provide an unbiased perspective, help navigate complex situations, and offer specialised knowledge that enhances the overall effectiveness of conflict resolution efforts.
