Consistent. Committed. Kindness.

1 Identify the root cause

The first step in any conflict resolution process is to understand the source and nature of the conflict. Is it a misunderstanding, a disagreement, a competition, or a violation of trust? What are the underlying needs, interests, and emotions of each party? How does the conflict affect your brand identity, values, and goals? By identifying the root cause of the conflict, you can avoid jumping to conclusions, making assumptions, or escalating the situation. You can also use your brand strategy as a guide to align your actions and communication with your core principles and purpose.

2 Seek common ground

The next step is to find areas of agreement, cooperation, or mutual benefit with the other party. This can help you build rapport, trust, and empathy, and reduce hostility, resentment, and defensiveness. You can use your brand strategy to highlight your shared values, vision, or audience with the other party, and show how you can complement or support each other. For example, if you are in conflict with a client over a project scope, budget, or deadline, you can use your brand strategy to demonstrate how your solution meets their needs, expectations, and objectives, and how you can collaborate to achieve them.

3 Generate options

The third step is to brainstorm possible solutions that can satisfy both parties' interests and needs, and that are consistent with your brand strategy. You can use your brand strategy to generate creative and innovative ideas that reflect your brand personality, voice, and value proposition. You can also use your brand strategy to evaluate the pros and cons of each option, and how they affect your brand reputation, image, and positioning. For example, if you are in conflict with a competitor over a trademark, slogan, or domain name, you can use your brand strategy to come up with alternative names that capture your brand essence, differentiate you from the competition, and appeal to your target audience.

4 Negotiate and agree

The final step is to negotiate and agree on a solution that is fair, feasible, and beneficial for both parties, and that reinforces your brand strategy. You can use your brand strategy to communicate clearly, respectfully, and persuasively, and to convey your confidence, credibility, and professionalism. You can also use your brand strategy to establish clear expectations, roles, and responsibilities, and to document and follow up on the agreement. For example, if you are in conflict with a team member over a task, role, or feedback, you can use your brand strategy to define your goals, standards, and feedback mechanisms, and to acknowledge and appreciate each other's contributions and strengths.

Implementation will be different each time, one implementation plan will not work for the next one. So assessing which best fits using frameworks like… Ultimately if great assessment is done to find the real cause, parties feel acknowledged in their concern the implementation tends to be the least focus as it’s what’s expected. Collaborating and Comprising approaches work where each person co creates to the final outcome or each person makes a compromise so it’s fair.

If customers are closely associated with the brand, this facilitates the conflict resolution process. In this case, the authority of clients is higher than in intellectual property law And higher than commercial law.

Always show them the data, the bigger picture, some agreed points, some references and the clients always understand. The data should be purely from learning for their brand itself, or their competition / industry benchmark.
