This definition is good as far as it goes, but it focuses only on understanding a problem. Framing and reframing is also very useful in overcoming a dispute. One way to break a deadlock in negotiations is to zoom out and, following Fisher and Ury’s advice in ‘Getting to Yes’, look at interests rather than positions. If the two parties have an interest in common, that may serve as a framework for solving their dispute, and if so, reframing the dispute in terms of serving that interest may be the best way to reach agreement and resolve their dispute.
