SUMMARY:The Cost of The Conflict: strategies to prevent disputes and reduce costs
DESCRIPTION:ABOUTPROGRAMMEPRACTICALITIESREGISTRATIONABOUT\nA lawyer’s invoice tells you the legal cost but It doesn’t tell you the cost of the conflict. What about the weeks your management team spent dealing with the dispute? The project that was put on hold? The client who never came back? Or the two employees who left in the meantime? \nThose costs never appear in a single report. They are scattered across HR budgets\, operational delays\, lost business opportunities and financial results that fall just short of expectations. \nOn 23 November\, we bring those hidden costs together. \nBusiness leaders\, judges and legal experts will explore what a conflict really costs an organisation\, which dispute resolution approach works best for different types of conflict\, and—most importantly—how businesses can prevent these costs in the first place. \nBecause the real cost of conflict goes far beyond legal fees. \nPROGRAMME\nDRAFT PROGRAMME \n1:15 pm – 1:50 pm | Registration \n1:50 pm – 2:00 pm | Welcome and introduction by Julie Deré\, Secretary General of ICC Belgium \n2:00 pm – 2:15 pm | Minister of Justice and North Sea\, Annelies Verlinden \n2:15 pm – 2:35 pm | The real bill \nDominique Valcke\, CEO Stadsbader & Chair ADEB-VBA \n2:35 pm – 3:15 pm | The overall cost of The Conflict (HR\, Commercial\, Operational) \n\n2:35 pm – 2:45 pm: Cyril Dumoulin (Senior Legal Counsel Upstream\, Conventional Oil and Gas Shell)\n2:45 pm – 2:55 pm : dr. ir.
