Information Deficit Conflicts

Lack of information and a smooth working relationship between the departments of an organization may lead to conflicts through information deficiency. These conflicts can be fatal to organizational tasks and must be checked in time in order to ensure smooth functioning of all parts of the organization. Conflicts through information deficiency can create a crisis like situation in an organization. These conflicts can be resolved through a thorough table talk between all the parties involved in the task.

If the information given by the finance department to the operations department of not complete and if deficient in explaining the actual finances available for the task to the organization, then a conflict through information deficiency may arise when the task is in very early stage, negating all the work done up till that point of time. On the other hand if legal department does not explain all the legalities involved in the task to the finance department, then the balance sheet prepared by the department might be lagging in the legality of the task.

Likewise if Operations department provides deficient information to the human resource department and the costumer care department it might lead to organization earning a bad name in media and also with the clients. This can even endanger the future of the organization.

To avoid conflicts through information deficiency all the departments should sit on one table and share all the information possible regarding the task. Legal department should not leave any stone unturned to explain all the legalities on the task, the operations department should clarify all the processes involved and the finances needed and the customer care and human resource department should ask for all the information that might be helpful in earning a good name with media and the clients. That is the only possible way to avoid conflicts through information deficiency.
