Mediation in Information Technology

For those of us who are in the field of information technology for some time, resolving conflicts is part of the job. I have a project manager, project manager and director of the management of telecommunications expenses (to mention only a few posts) and in each of these positions that I have experienced conflict and the possibility of resolving many disputes. Part of a project manager is the task of solving problems on a daily basis. It can be as simple as working with a team of project and functional manager of barter for the time needed to complete a task. Or May, it will be as complex as working with a project steering committee to determine if the project timeline should / will be delayed. Mediation can be used in one of these two examples.

First, when a project team, project manager and an office manager to discuss the need for an hour to do a job, a project manager can play the role of neutrality and is working with both sides of understand the differences between what a member of the team is estimating the amount of time needed to accomplish a task and the amount that the head office is willing to provide. In this case, an informal mediation, also completed.

In the second problem of management is to decide whether a project should be postponed, probably should mediate between management and the vendor to complete work (if a vendor contract). This mediation, but probably not foreseen when planning the project, could help both parties understand all the underlying problems that caused delays and each table can help people work better in the future.

Telecom as a manager, I had the opportunity to manage a group of management of telecommunications expenses to more than one company. Meanwhile, I was familiar with most of the disputes that telecommunication services, telecom expense management companies and carriers face. Sometimes, the relationship between the service company for the purchase of voice or data and the company can be heard. This adversarial relationship May be due to unrealistic contract, the measurement or many other reasons that can lead to many disputes.

There are many possible applications of mediation in the field of space telecommunications. Mediation can take place between companies and their service providers for settlement of disputes missed service levels, contract disputes, to receive credit due to high bills and the list goes on. The mediation of these situations a formal meeting Enlist a neutral third party for the big or the use of resources to internal disputes which are smaller and less complex.
