How to be sure

00:00:08

and how to manage this post-conflict.

00:00:12

Here are three tips,

00:00:14

validate that the solution is satisfactory for all in the long term.

00:00:18

Consolidate the way out of the conflict by contract,

00:00:22

indicator and monitoring,

00:00:24

and finally capitalise on experienced progress.

00:00:29

The first question that is important to ask individually and collectively is,

00:00:34

is the conflict over?

00:00:36

Are there a few embers left that could get it going again?

00:00:40

A few sick cells that could multiply again.

00:00:44

The appeasement following a solution may be temporary

00:00:47

if it is not fully assumed by all.

00:00:50

The conflict can only end if everyone sees the benefit

00:00:54

of the solution when it is implemented on the ground.

00:00:57

If the appeasement is lasting,

00:00:59

that's a pretty good sign.

00:01:01

Normally,

00:01:02

the solution was chosen for its short and long term benefits.

00:01:07

If the long term is not taken into account,

00:01:10

the fire may start again.

00:01:12

Dealing with the post-conflict period is to consolidate the exit

00:01:16

from conflict as one consolidates recovery from a serious illness.

00:01:20

Has the solution been applied by all?

00:01:23

Making a written contract and having it signed by the parties involved

00:01:28

ensures that the solutions will be implemented.

00:01:31

Written contracts prevent agreements from being contested or fading over time.

00:01:37

You don't want to sign a contract that seems too formal a solution.

00:01:41

A written commitment can just take the form of a simple email

00:01:45

like Cathy,

00:01:47

I'm so glad we found a common solution.

00:01:49

As we have decided,

00:01:51

I confirm our mutual commitments to

00:01:54

thanks for your cooperation,

00:01:56

signed Max.

00:01:57

When decisions are more complex or less factual,

00:02:01

I recommend that you set indicators that will

00:02:04

validate that the agreement has been respected.

00:02:07

Indicators such as

00:02:09

if there are no more backlogs on a project,

00:02:12

if there is no more altercation in a meeting,

00:02:15

if

00:02:16

the contract must always be adjustable over time.

00:02:20

The solution must be able to be discussed again

00:02:23

after a trial period.

00:02:25

When you decide on a common solution,

00:02:28

make a follow-up appointment now

00:02:31

between a week,

00:02:32

a month following the resolution of the conflict

00:02:35

in order to validate with a little hindsight

00:02:38

whether the solution works and remains satisfactory for all.

00:02:43

Allow yourself to adjust it if you feel it continues to generate internal tension.

00:02:49

Finally.

00:02:50

Managing the post-conflict period means capitalising on the dispute

00:02:55

and allow everyone to move forward.

00:02:58

analyse more deeply the conflict when it's truly calmed and resolved,

00:03:02

and strive to have a neutral and wise outlook on past events.

00:03:08

Give yourself feedback.

00:03:10

How do you see the conflict today?

00:03:12

What would you do differently if you were able to go through the same crisis?

00:03:16

What would you do in a similar way?

00:03:19

How has this conflict been an opportunity for

00:03:23

individual and collective progress for the protagonists,

00:03:26

for the team,

00:03:28

for the relationship?

00:03:29

What did you learn?

00:03:31

Managing the post-conflict period therefore means validating

00:03:35

that the solution is satisfactory for all

00:03:38

over the long term.

00:03:40

It means consolidating its exit by formal or informal contract,

00:03:46

by indicators and by monitoring,

00:03:49

and finally analysing and capitalising on the experienced progress.
