Collaborative Negotiating

Course Length: 1 day

With this course, you will learn how to apply techniques from the Harvard Negotiating Project, which shift negotiations from win-lose to win-win strategies and enable both parties to come away from the table with more than either had hoped. Through a series of classroom negotiations, you will discover practical approaches for countering the tactics of the “hard” negotiator to keep negotiations from slipping into power-based conflicts. You will learn a systematic, four-stage process that identifies interests, options, alternatives, and credible criteria to increase both your negotiating skill and confidence.

Defining the boundary conditions, applying the three levels of listening, and anchoring a negotiation within the zone of agreement are the essential skills to reaching a mutually satisfying agreement.
