Just as physics taught us that time and space are one, Spatz teaches us that behavior and response time are one.
A Simple Micro-conflict Resolution Process
When someone in a workplace team feels they’re being treated unfairly by a teammate or manager… we recommend SpatzAI — a system that empowers affected team members to address the issue directly and in real-time, while offering the protection of a transparent team review process, if the final conflict remains unresolved.
Preventing Workplace Conflict Escalation: The Role of Early Self-Intervention in Minor Spats
As we move closer to October—Safe Work Australia Month—I wanted to share a glimpse of what the future could hold for workplace conflict resolution. This post is a demonstration of how SpatzAI’s structured approach to addressing micro-conflicts could transform team dynamics.
Why Not Act Instead of React?
Most commentators, consultants, and business coaches emphasize the importance of pausing before reacting—a well-intentioned but passive approach that often leads to inaction or unresolved tensions.

The Stair Way by SpatzAI: A Step-by-Step Approach to Resolving Micro-conflicts

Caution Grasshopper!
Imagine if our workplace teammates agreed that one could pause a conversation, using a 1.Caution, instead of reacting angrily, or suppressing our feelings of injustice, when we were experiencing some unfair treatment? And, if the person who was infringing on us ignored or challenged our caution, we could then up the ante by 2.Objecting to their behavior. If still no result, we could agree to 3.Stop the conversation and allow our peers to adjudicate our conflict. All without allowing our emotions to interfere in our spat. I think it is possible.
The SpatzAI One Minute Pitch

Heterogeneity and Why SpatzAI Fits
The SpatzAI model fits well with heterogeneity because it is designed to embrace and accommodate the diverse needs, perspectives, and dynamics of teams and individuals. Here's how:
Taking the Big Leap and How SpatzAI Addresses Them
SpatzAI aligns well with Gantayat and colleagues' model for: Taking The Big Leap by addressing many of the issues identified and integrating some of the proposed "big leaps" into its framework. Here's how SpatzAI fits with the six chasms and leaps:
