Written by My Collaborative Team President Edward S. Sachs, ACP

During our Friday Happy Hours, we have been talking a lot about the Collaborative Process.  Is it really one-size fits all or do we mold the Process to our client’s needs?  Is the lynch pin still the disqualification clause?

One MCT member suggested that we are going through great change.  We must be flexible with the Process to best serve the needs of the divorcing family.  That may mean that the standard four or five professional team works.  Or maybe you need other expert professional help.  Is Collaborative Mediation a better fit?  Maybe just a co-mediation utilizing the appropriate team of mediators.

I am looking forward to taking these thoughts and discussions to IACP Forum this week.  I know that there are several presentations that cover aspects of this discussion.  That is what is always so invigorating about Forum.  The best, the brightest, the most curious, the most experienced, and the freshest of Collaborative professionals all together to share.

I look forward to seeing all my IACP colleagues and friends.  I look forward to seeing and meeting in person so many of our MCT colleagues and friends.  I look forward to being with like-minded people!

See you later this week.  Come by our booth to pick up or buy your IDEA T-shirt.  Come by to find out if we will be having Happy Hour Live on Friday.
