MEDIATION Mediation is a process where a neutral person, the mediator, helps parties in conflict to resolve their dispute. Mediators have no power to impose a decision on the parties, and should have no stake or interest in the outcome. With particular expertise in environmental and public policy disputes, The Mary Orton Company can help replace an adversarial climate with a group attitude of creative problem solving. The Mary Orton Company can help your group: Emphasize mutual gain instead of a win/lose approach. Put effort into getting all parties what they need, instead of defeating their opponents. Focus on the substance of the issues instead of personalities. Remain open-minded and flexible instead of retreating into hardened positions. Promote mutual understanding and good communication.
