"Collaboration is the key to success." I would start by identifying the core issues and concerns of each team. Emphasizing common goals, I’d highlight how data sharing can benefit both teams and the organization as a whole. Establishing clear data-sharing guidelines ensures security and compliance. Facilitating open communication through joint meetings encourages dialogue and understanding. Assigning specific roles for data management fosters accountability. Leveraging secure data-sharing tools builds trust. Regularly monitoring and adjusting the process based on feedback helps maintain a collaborative environment, ensuring both teams feel confident and supported in their data-sharing practices.

Naturally, this can lead to a slowdown in processes and a deterioration in the work of the entire company. If the situation begins to escalate, it is important to prevent an escalation of the conflict. In such cases, the involvement of a professional mediator may be the best solution. Thanks to a neutral position and professional tools, the mediator reduces emotional tension and creates conditions for effective dialogue. The result of the work will be the achievement of agreements that suit both sides. This strengthens team collaboration and speeds up the completion of tasks. Investments in conflict resolution through mediation always pay off by quickly restoring productivity and improving the atmosphere in the team.

It is so important to understand what both parties are trying to achieve as well as the cause of the disagreement. Too often poor communication and assumptions by both parties turn a difference of opinion into a conflict.
