The incrementalism approach is often the best way to reduce the destructiveness of confrontations over intractable issues. This approach begins by identifying any conflict problems that increase the conflict's overall destructiveness or threaten the parties' ability to make a wise decision or advance their interests. Although many incrementalism treatments require the corporative effort of contending parties, others can be implemented unilaterally. Similarly, while some treatments are relatively easy to implement, others require that the parties develop new dispute-handling skills or secure the assistance of outside professionals. Unlike other forms of dispute resolution, the incrementalism approach can work in situations where resolution-based approaches are unusable.

The incrementalism approach also recognizes our limited ability to understand and solve complex problems. It also recognizes that certain kinds of long-term change are best sustained through gradual adjustment rather than a complete overhaul. Small incremental moves are often more effective than trying to resolve the whole conflict all at once.

The incremental model is often used in the public sector, where significant changes are likely to cause public dispute, and in software development, where bite-sized changes help to avoid big and costly mistakes. Disadvantages at that time may be wasted dealing with the immediate problems and no overall strategy is developed. Incrementalism can be seen as a stealthy way to bring about changes without causing too much conflict.

Most people use incrementalism without ever needing a name for it because it is the natural and intuitive way to tackle everyday problems, such as making coffee or getting dressed. These actions normally don't require extensive planning and problems can be dealt with one at a time as they arise.

Instead of making one huge leap towards solving a problem, the incremental model breaks down the decision-making process into small steps. The process of then moving between the steps is known as muddling through and is based on the combination of experience, intuition, guessing, and using different techniques. This model was developed by Charles Lindblom

In conclusion, sometimes it is best that you take it slow and use baby steps with your plan and let incrementalism play out over time. Even in processes that involve more extensive planning, incrementalism is often an important tactic for dealing reactively with small details. For example, one might plan a route for a driving trip on a map, but one would not typically plan in advance where to change lanes or how long to stop at each streetlight.
