Você está facilitando uma sessão com opiniões conflitantes das partes interessadas. Como você encontra um terreno comum?

You can reconcile what dilemmas there are. First, what are the issues (one at a time)? What are the opposites of these issues? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the opposites? Then, identify possible solutions and pick the one that is most agreed upon. What will success look like? And, how can this solution be measured?

When facilitating a session with conflicting stakeholder opinions, finding common ground starts with accepting that everyone is different and will have different thoughts, which in fact is a great meeting place for challenging status quo. 1. Begin by giving each party the space to express their views without interruption by listening actively and with empathy. 2. Use reflective questioning to clarify and ensure understanding of the underlying concerns. 3. Look for shared goals, or interests and values that can serve as a foundation for agreement. 4. Encourage open dialogue, emphasizing collaboration over competition. By focusing on mutual benefits and fostering a respectful environment, you can guide the group towards balance & alignment.

When dealing with conflicting opinions, I think it can be helpful to have stakeholders use a graphic organizer to identify mutual interests, objectives, etc. For example, a Venn diagram can help focus on what the different groups have in common rather than where / how they differ.

Shifting the focus from issues and difficulties to focusing on options to move forward helps in finding common ground. There is a need for all stakeholders to be heard in their opinions. Finding solutions that would be a win win for everyone helps in moving forward. I often get to the purpose of the relationship or the why in working together. This often helps the stakeholders to get to the how and what.
