A long-standing inter-departmental dispute will be presented for your arbitration. Your role is to ensure all parties feel heard, regardless of the ultimate outcome. Neutrality is your primary asset.

Expect extensive presentations of viewpoints, often reiterating previously established positions. The goal is consensus, even if that consensus is merely to defer the decision to a larger, more senior body. Sub-committees may be required.

Proposals for resolution will be circulated. Your task is to synthesize these into a framework that appears equitable, even if it merely maintains the status quo. The appearance of progress can be as valuable as actual progress.
