Conflict Resolution Model
Conflict is a normal occurrence in the organizational environment but to ensure that the conflict does not create disruptions in the operational process the organization will need to have an effective conflict resolution model in place. Conflict can create disturbances in the production process or result in poor employee morale if not properly resolved. The conflict resolution model should increase understanding amongst organizational, better group cohesion, and improved self knowledge. On the other hand if conflict is not effectively resolved it can result in disharmony and a failure of organizational members to meet the goals of the organization.
Two conflict resolution approaches that can be employed by the organization include the Interest-Based Relational (IBR) Approach and the VOMP Model of conflict resolution. The IBR Approach would most benefit the organization because this model respects diverse differences of organizational members while assisting organizational members in not becoming to fixed or focused on one position (Manktelow, 2010). The first step in this model is for team embers to establish a working relationship of trust and building mutual respect. The first step in the VOMP Model is for the management to make time for members of the team involved in the conflict to vent their issues.
The next step in the IBR Model is to remove the problem from the team member. What this means is the conflict should become an issue that is discussed amongst team members and not just a problem of the individual. In the VOMP Model the next step is the team member owning their part in the conflict. What this means is the team members involved in the conflict would need to admit to their part in the problem. The next step in the IBR Model is to actively listen to the complaints of team members involved in the conflict while in the VOMP Model is known as moccasins or walking in the shoes of others.
The next approach in the IBR Model is to establish the facts. Because in conflict a percent of the problem could have been dramatized it is important to be clear of the facts surrounding the conflict. In the VOMP Model this is the last step where alternative are developed and the best alternative is selected. The IBR approach has a similar approach in which the individuals involved explore potential options and then as a team select the best alternative. The IBR Approach would be the most effective conflict resolution model for resolving conflict in the organization.
Security Options for the Organization
In order to properly secure any organization it is essential that the security company can secure the facility as well as provide the necessary cyber security to avoid any outside intrusions. New organizational security integration and legal requirements raises the need for secure business processes because security problems can negatively affect profit and the reputation of companies and their stakeholders (Neubauer, 2006). While the organization needs to switch from a full in-house security team to a partial in-house and partial contract-security model they will still need to properly secure the assets of the organization. In order to reduce to the partial model the number of security personnel will need to be reduced and instead the organization will need to rely more heavily on security measures that are put into place.
