The Simplest Explanation of Co-resolution

Co-resolution is a dispute resolution process in which two facilitators provide personal negotiation support to separate disputants. The facilitators act as continuing partners in a single dispute resolution service

As a team, these facilitators have a vested interest in their relationship with each other and will therefore only assist the parties in cooperative, principled negotiation strategies (as competitive, adversarial moves would harm their relationship).

Each facilitator then acts as a mediator only to the other side, thereby guiding the other party to focus on their interests, expand their options, and come to a resolution.

Because each facilitator loyally supports and coaches one side while conciliating the other side, each works in a consistent direction (helping one side) and together they act as a team in bringing the parties to resolution.

Co-resolution therefore performs all of the functions of mediation without the need for impartiality, and it inserts a cooperative level of personal support and coaching into the process to directly enhance the parties' experience in negotiation.
