Today, we gather to celebrate a remarkable milestone: 20 years of SpatzAI, the revolutionary system that has transformed human behavior and relationships across the globe. Initially designed to address objectionable behavior in workplace teams, SpatzAI grew into something much more profound—an indispensable part of daily life that has reshaped the way we engage with one another, resolve conflict, and build harmony.
“He Started it!”, A Micro-Conflict Way to Resolve Objectionable Behavior in Workplace Teams
It is fair to say that most conflict resolution approaches take a diplomatic stance: both parties were somehow to blame. But what if that’s not true? What if one party was innocent, and the other initiated the uncivil behavior?
Revolutionizing Behavioral Psychology Through Micro-Conflict or Tension Resolution
At its core, it is our belief—SpatzAI’s and mine—that all behavioral issues stem from one thing: micro-conflicts or minor tensions. Whether it’s within ourselves, between people, or with the systems we’re part of, addressing these minor tensions or spats early can prevent them from escalating into larger issues that damage teams, relationships, or system outcomes.
Complaining Versus the Lost Ark of Objecting
Not many people can articulate a definitive difference between complaining and objecting—or for that matter, between objecting and disagreeing. This distinction seems like a lost ark, and yet it holds the potential to radically improve how teams communicate and resolve their micro-conflicts or minor spats.
It’s Objectionable Stupid!
How obvious is this? Instead of reacting impulsively to someone’s behavior or sweeping it under the rug, why not take the middle ground and simply object to objectionable behavior?
Why We Fear Conflict with AI – and How Workplace Conflict Could Hold the Key
There’s a lot of discussion about the dangers of AI, but the fear often boils down to one simple truth: we are afraid of conflict with AI. This fear isn’t entirely surprising, given how poorly we’ve managed conflict in our own human interactions.
