The Collaborative Resolution Project (CRP) examines the PEOPLE, PROCESSES, and PRINCIPLES of an alternative dispute resolution strategy employing a team-based negotiation model. This approach is highly relevant especially for divorcing couples but equally appropriate in any human conflict scenario (e.g., family business issues, leadership challenges, parent-adult child impasses, and probate disputes). It serves as an emotionally intelligent alternative to the traditional litigated or adversarial process.
