Avoiding the conflict is usually not satisfying to the individual nor does it help the group resolve a problem. Accommodation Accommodation is a convenient strategy to satisfy an immediate need for individuals or the group. It emphasizes the things conflicting parties have in common and de-emphasizes the differences. Even though we don't agree on the details, we do agree that we want to make a contribution to the hospital. Let's move on for now.
Accommodation is helpful for a group to review their common purpose in the midst of conflict.
Accommodation should NOT be used if a important issue is at stake which needs to be addressed immediately. Compromise Compromise is appropriate when all parties are satisfied with a part of their requests and willing to be flexible. Compromise is mutual for all parties. All parties should receive something, and all parties will need to give up something. It sounds like the budget is your main concern.
