THE Conflict Avoidance Coalition has launched a new website.
The coalition brings together more than 90 organisations – including public bodies, contractors, consultants, and professional institutions – who are united in a shared mission: to reduce the financial, reputational, and relational costs of construction and engineering-related disputes through better conflict management.
Project Scotland spoke to Len Bunton, Chair of the steering group of the Conflict Avoidance Coalition, earlier this year about the importance of a proactive approach to conflict management. The CAC encourages organisations to sign up to the Conflict Avoidance Pledge (CAP), which is a commitment to early intervention and conflict avoidance.
Signatories are expected to maintain good business relationships, strive to deal with issues which crop up on projects early and amicably, and embed the CAP principles into their workplace culture.
It is now necessary for those who have already signed the Conflict Avoidance Pledge to go through the process again. There is a section on the new website for The Pledge, whereby parties can re-enter their relevant details. Once complete, a confirmation email as a Pledge Signatory will be received.
