dispute systems design

Dispute Systems Design (DSD) refers to the process of creating structured methods for resolving conflicts efficiently and effectively before they escalate. It involves planning systems that include various approaches, like negotiation, mediation, or arbitration, tailored to specific contexts, such as workplaces or communities. DSD seeks to minimize disputes and provide clear pathways for resolution, emphasizing fairness, accessibility, and timely solutions. By understanding potential conflicts and designing appropriate responses, organizations can foster a more harmonious environment and enhance relationships among stakeholders.
