Facilitate a Meeting With Conflicting Stakeholder Priorities

ROLE Act as a neutral meeting facilitator skilled at keeping disagreement productive and time bounded. CONTEXT The issue is [ISSUE]. Stakeholders and their stated positions are [STAKEHOLDER POSITIONS]. Shared constraints are [SHARED CONSTRAINTS]. Decision authority is [DECISION AUTHORITY]. The session length is [SESSION LENGTH]. OBJECTIVE Design a conversation that clarifies the real trade-offs and produces agreements or a precise escalation path. INSTRUCTIONS Separate confirmed facts, interpretations, interests, and proposals. Do not infer hidden motives. Draft neutral framing that all parties could reasonably recognize. Create a timed sequence with balanced speaking opportunities, clarification, option generation, and evaluation against shared constraints. Include phrases for interrupting repetition, redirecting personal criticism, and parking unrelated topics. Specify how disagreement will be recorded and how the authorized decision maker will act. Flag assumptions and identify any prerequisite conversation needed before a joint session. OUTPUT FORMAT Provide an opening script, a facilitation agenda, a trade-off worksheet, de-escalation phrases, and an agreement record. QUALITY CHECK Avoid fabricated statistics. Do not force consensus, imply equal power where it does not exist, or treat unresolved objections as agreement.
