Learn how to evaluate and resolve conflicts when they present themselves.
Business executives and licensed professionals may have a basic appreciation of conflicts of interest but lack a conscientious, disciplined, and consistent method for spotting them. Then, once a conflict has been identified, many businesspeople, including professionals, do not understand how to react to a conflict of interest promptly and decisively. Also, there is a lack of appreciation concerning the legal liability risk associated with conflicts that are allowed to go unaddressed, to say nothing of the risk of reputational harm, which may be even more consequential. This presentation will help you spot and even predict conflicts of interest and will teach you how to evaluate and resolve conflicts when they present themselves. The benefit of having a knowing and enlightened system for addressing conflicts pays dividends in the form of efficiency and confidence in decision-making, preservation of the company's or firm's culture, and the avoidance of reputational harm as well as legal liability exposure.
