Conflict among employees, senior managers and directors of public organizations can be a costly distraction from their core mission — be that maximizing shareholder value or serving communal needs.

BMC Associates can help publicly-traded companies, not-for-profit organizations and government agencies prevent and resolve conflict.  Our experience includes:

•  Assisting boards of directors and management committees improve their operating effectiveness and collaboration.
  
•  Resolving policy, procedure and interpersonal conflicts among senior managers.
  
• Assisting senior management in resolving conflict among line managers and key employees.
  
• Facilitating formation of joint ventures and strategic alliances.

Special Challenges. The core principles of conflict prevention and resolution are, in most respects, universally applicable. But publicly accountable organizations face special challenges. Decisionmaking processes can be complex and involve multiple layers of governance. Communication with media, regulators and public stakeholders about problems and solutions is always sensitive. The role of organizational politics cannot be ignored.  In addition to its fundamental strengths in facilitation and mediation, BMC brings awareness and experience with thiese special challenges to its publicly accountable clients.
