  3. In mediation the success or otherwise of the process entirely depends on the parties. Therefore, allowing the parties to assume ownership of the process is critical in getting a mutually acceptable outcome

  4. Generating and evaluating options during mediation is therefore an effort by the mediator to have the parties speak out what their frustrations are and indicate what to their mind is the antidode to the problem. When you allow the parties to do this, they end up coming out with multiple ideas as to the solution thereby creating a host of options for analysis and eventual arrival at the best solution.
