Mediation offers many advantages including the fact it reduces costs during a legal process. If done properly, it can achieve a much faster outcome. In cases of divorce, it can help preserve relationships for the sake of children.
The overall success rate of mediation is actually relatively high, especially in commercial mediation. According to The Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) it’s estimated that the overall success of commercial mediation is around 93% of cases being resolved on the day or shortly afterwards.
For the mediator, they must formulate and ask the right questions to produce the best results.
Your use of language and the way questions can be interpreted makes a big difference. Whether it’s commercial or personal mediation, asking great questions is absolutely essential. There are various types of mediation questions which can be deployed at different points. For instance, ‘Journey of Inference’ questions identify the link between interpretations and follow on actions or reactions.
