  5. Key Stages in Win-Win Process • Identify and define the problem • Separate the people from the problem • Understand the problem fully--identify interests and needs • Focus on interests, not positions • Generate multiple alternative solutions • Consider BATNA • Evaluate and select alternatives • Use objective standards for evaluation

  7. Focus on Interests, not Positions • Some distinctions: • Issue: Topic of negotiation. • Position: One party’s solution to an issue. • Interest: One party’s concern about an issue. • For a wise solution • Reconcile interests, not positions. • How do you identify interests? • Ask! • Talk about interests • Mutual, conflicting, unmatched.

  8. Invent Options for Mutual Gain • Separate inventing from deciding • Brainstorm, nominal groups, surveys • Broaden your options • Expand the pie (more for everyone) • Log-roll (tradeoff where your desires differ) • Use nonspecific compensation • Cut costs for compliance • Bridge solution • Look for mutual gain • Make their decision easy

  9. Look for ways to work together to make more Similar skills and resources: Economies of scale, cheaper to produce for two, combine purchase power for better discount Different skills and resources Create what neither of you can on own. Options for joint benefit Rather than separate or independent benefit, joint sponsorship Value in differences Risk: some like, others hate. One side more easily bear or insure against Timing: different clocks, what is impossible this month is ok next, or unaffordable next year is ok this. Perceptions: what others think. Third parties, public victory if needed, other get something they really want. Marginal value: have some, want less, so trade. Options
