This is great.

A group I used to work with framed it as needs and fears, and would produce a ‘conflict map’ when heading into a situation with multiple stakeholders.

The conflict map set out the needs and fears of each group, and indicated where they were incompatible.

That information was used to proactively resolve, or at least plan around those areas of conflict.

I'd love to hear more about the conflict map. It sounds like a useful strategy.

How was it a map?

That's an awesome resource thank you.

The conflict maps I was exposed to were much simpler - just a bunch of wobbly circles surrounding a centra issue or event. Wobbly circle intersections denoted needs/fears incompatibility implying potential conflict.

Thank you. There is a lot to absorb there.
