Negotiation: A Systemic Approach

Contact us via our contact form...

Negotiation is a fundamental tool to achieve what we need yet research shows that 80% of executives leave value on the negotiation table. Our integrated approach looks at negotiation beyond the traditional tactical view. We now understand that negotiation begins long before we seat at the table, and requires much more than an effective interaction. In consequence we look at its architecture from three complementary perspectives: The Context, where our aim is to increase our leverage by looking at how we can strategically change the context in which the negotiation takes place; The Drawing Board, where by means of a systematic analysis we look for ways in which we can increase the amount of value that the parties (us in particular) can derive from the negotiation; The Negotiation Table, where we design the tactical means by which we can maximize the amount of value to be captured, both by creating and claiming value.

Objectives

  • to have a clear understanding and a systematic set of tools to prepare effectively for a negotiation
  • to learn how to increase your negotiation leverage before you seat at the table
  • to acquire a sophisticated practical framework to increase the value that you can take away from the negotiation
  • to become familiar with the negotiation process, its phases and the necessary tactical tools that are useful in each phase
  • to have a solid benchmark against which to measure the quality of your outcome in terms of a broader set of objectives
