PAX-APPEAL (English Version)
PAX APPEAL by Gian Marco Boccanera.
Pax-Appeal is a new way of understanding interpersonal and economical relationships, based not on the conflict but on its harmonious composition, knowing that the clash of positions that give rise to the conflict is far less convenient for both parts and/or FOR ALL the stakeholders, than the reasoned, peaceful and creative settlement of the adverse positions.
The question is not: to divide the "cake" in symmetrical portions, for which the growth of a piece of cake reflects the symmetrical and equally decreasing remaining portion. The cake is rather "extended" to allow a Pareto-Gain in favour of both parts, which earn the extent that they can get a slice of cake each one wider than the conventional solution can provide. The option is "win, win" and both parties gain something more than before , and so nobody loses.
PAX-Appeal approach is a non-conventional, non-judgmental approach to conflict or economic interests, with the assistance of professionals specialized in creative composition of the interests that are faced. To the composition of interests, the same parts in conflict can and should participate personally & actively with their professional assistants. That leads not to the transaction, static, but towards the dynamic composition of interest, throwing bridges , and proposing a vision of the future best-set of interests.
As well as the creativity and innovation, skills typically rooted in Italian people and still referring to the best of "MADE IN ITALY", thus spreading the culture of PAX - APPEAL, that of the creative solution of disputes through assisted approach, will be the BEST method against the inefficient, even on the social side, approach of the clash between adverse positions. It would be great if this culture of PAX-APPEAL could be disclosed to the “Order of Chartered Accountants and Experts ”, gaining a popular feedback in terms of SOCIAL renewed acknowledgment of the value of the profession, new professional skills and to continue the millennium PAX of the Roman people, who ruled a territorial extension of the Roman Empire, never equaled by anyone in history.
Conversely, the clash between positions has many costs, even social ones, including health, including environmental ones, that someone has to finance (individual, family, community, State, World). The clash is a logic that can be overcome if both conflicting parties can be convinced (of the professional role) and their entourage to find a negotiated solution best for each.
The PAX-APPEAL then rises to modus operandi for the search of quick , SHARED, convenient and cost-effective solutions, alternative beyond the clash in traditional courts. The question is to spread such ideas and make them applicable to specific cases, effectively. The new approach matches with the specific characteristics of the Italian people and their undoubted creative ability to find simple solutions to difficult problems: this can represent a proper challenge to find new areas of professionalism and above all to free up resources from the conflict, otherwise choked by strings and snares that can help to revitalize the Country. And -last but not least- to ease the social costs of conflict (paid by the state and then by all taxpayers) represent an important value that will in future be measured by the "welfare" national, compared to the outdated measure of economic development through the GDP that does not measure the degree of satisfaction at all, nor the degree of happiness received in the State, but only what is produced (also unnecessarily or inefficiently) , before being consumed.
So, the point is: whether or not it's worth stopping to think about??
Good discussion everyone.
