Conflicts through diverging goals and goal planning when in an organization different departments have different tasks and different set of instructions to carry them out. While planning a goal each department takes its position and this leads to conflicts through diverging goals and goal planning.
Finance departments talks of its shortcomings, legal department tells the legalities of a task, human resource department and costumer relationship departments ask for more finances and this all leads to a conflict through diverging goals and goal planning.
In a task, the main driving force is the finances of that organization. Less finances means less work force, more days to complete the task and that is not needed by the human resource and costumer relationship departments as they want to earn a good name of the organization through speedy and quality works.
On the other hand legal department raises its concerns over the outlines of the task and asks to change them, which may cause a high increase in the finances which is not good for the finance department. Even when the legal department approves the task plan, the operations branch rejects it on the basis of the fact that it does not includes the ground realities or the operations branch is more busy in another task and the required work force cannot be provided to the project unless and until the on-going task is completed and this might anger the human resource and costumer care departments. Each department having its own set of instructions and following them in a task raise the conflicts through diverging goals and goal planning.
These conflicts through diverging goals and goal planning can be avoided if while planning the task, all the departments sit together and through thorough discussions, make a plan which is acceptable for all the parties i.e. finances, legalities, ,operations, human resources and costumer cares.
