There are some cases where no matter how experienced and cohesive a team may be, strictly adhering to all elements of the Collaborative Process just doesn’t work for the clients. This program will examine when it is appropriate to consider deviating from the traditional Collaborative protocols, differentiate between protocols that can and cannot be streamlined, identify potential costs and benefits of streamlining, and share creative ways to approach option-generation and evaluation that were developed in cases where the parties were having a difficult time participating effectively in the traditional Collaborative Process, and/or had limited financial resources to expend on the Process. We will also share easy ways to adjust your Collaborative practice so that every case is as streamlined as possible.
