We believe most team conflict starts as minor infractions. With little or no in-house procedure to resolve these spats, most team members simply try ignore them & "let it go" preferring to vent & gossip later. We want to resolve this conflict behavior.

SpatzAI - Toolkit to Monitor & Resolve Conflict in Teams
1. des@spatz.ai | spatz.ai & spatzai.com | Desmond Sherlock
SpatzAI monitors & resolves conflict in teams
2. OUR VISION
Radically improve team collaboration
by sufficiently protecting members
from minor conflict behavior
during disagreements.
“Conflict is an escalation of a disagreement...characterized by…
conflict behavior...actively trying to damage one another.”
[Prof Michael Nicholson – Conflict (process) -- Wikipedia]
“Psychological safety is an atmosphere where one can take
chances……….without fear and with sufficient protection.“
[Edgar Schein & Warren Bennis 1965 – Psychological Safety - Wikipedia]
3. OUR MISSION
Create an AI toolkit assistant
that resolves minor conflict
(spats) in teams.
Then collate & monitor this
real-world data, measuring
the team’s conflict behavior
performance with its work
performance.
“Build a culture of stopping to fix
problems to get the quality right
the first time.“
The fifth principle of
the Toyota Way
4. Minor infractions are
too small to make an
official complaint
MINOR
INFRACTIONS
If no procedure to tackle
minor misbehavior, we
“let it go”, & gossip later
INSUFFICIENT
PROTECTIONS
Unchecked, misconduct
& gossip continues to
escalate into conflict
SPATS CAN
ESCALATE
THE PROBLEM
Minor Conflict Behavior
6. Team members agree that when one feels uncomfortable or offended, we
can verbally caution the offender. If the caution is acknowledged they move on
If the caution is challenged or ignored, she
can later use the SpatzAI 3-Step App, to
document & try resolve their Spat or Dispute
On the 3rd step, unresolved Conflicts are posted
automatically on the SpatzAI Peer Review Network,
to be reviewed & a recommendation is made
or or and
post
HOW IT WORKS
or
7. The SpatzAI app collates, monitors and measures the data from the team Spats, Disputes, and
Conflicts, and machine learns from the data, comparing the team’s conflict behavior performance
with the team’s overall work performance.
