NEGOTIATION SEMINAR - NCMA Sally Cunningham Dave Pronchick March 14, 2012
TODAY’S TOPICS - SALLY • 8-STEP APPROACH FOR COMPLEX NEGOTIATIONS • SIMPLE APPROACH FOR ONE-TIME SHORT TERM NEGOTIATIONS
8 STEP APPROACH FOR COMPLEX NEGOTIATIONS • PREPARE • ARGUE • SIGNAL • PROPOSE • PACKAGE • BARGAIN • CLOSE • AGREE
1. PREPARE • ESTABLISH OBJECTIVES • MINIMUM (MUST) • TARGET (INTEND) • MAXIMUM (LIKE) • GATHER INFO ABOUT OTHER PARTY • FACT V. JUDGMENT
2. ARGUE • DON’T INTERRUPT OTHER SIDE – LISTEN • DON’T TRY TO SCORE POINTS • USE A CONSTRUCTIVE RESPONSE
3. SIGNAL • WATCH FOR CLUES, E.G., MUST, LIKE, ETC. • LISTEN MORE THAN TALK
4. PROPOSE • PROPOSE INSTEAD OF ARGUING • BEGINNING – USE TENTATIVE NON-COMMITTAL PROPOSALS • USE ADJOURNMENTS TO CONSIDER PROPOSALS
5. PACKAGE • THINK CREATIVELY; TRADE-OFF
6. BARGAIN • USE IF-THEN WORDS • MAKE EVERYTHING CONDITIONAL • LINK ISSUES TO PREVENT PIECEMEAL PICKING OFF
7. CLOSE • TIMING – NOT TOO EARLY • MEET OPPONENTS NEEDS • USUALLY CONCESSION CLOSE • ALWAYS LEAVE A LITTLE MORE ROOM
8. AGREE • SUMMARIZE • NO MISUNDERSTANDINGS
SIMPLE APPROACH FOR ONE TIME SHORT NEGOTIATIONS A DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST • 7 AREAS • ALTERNATIVES • WHAT IS OUR BATNA? • CAN WE IMPROVE IT? • CAN WE LEGITIMATELY WORSEN OPPOSITIONS?
DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST (Continued) • INTERESTS • OURS? THEIRS? • WHAT IS THEIR CURRENT PERCEIVED CHOICE? • ARE WE GIVING THEM A PROBLEM OR AN ANSWER?
DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST (Continued) • OPTIONS • CAN WE INVENT MORE POSSIBLE AGREEMENTS? • GOOD FOR BOTH? • CAN WE CHANGE THEIR CHOICE? • LEGITIMACY • ARE WE USING OBJECTIVE CRITERIA? • WILL THE CRITERIA APPEAL TO THE OTHER SIDE?
DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST (Continued) • COMMUNICATION • ARE WE LISTENING? • OPEN TO PERSUASION? • DO THEY KNOW IT? • RELATIONSHIP • CAN WE IMPROVE THE INTERACTION? • MORE CONCERNED/SOFT ON THE PEOPLE? • MORE RIGOROUS/HARDER ON THE PROBLEM?
DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST (Continued) • COMMITMENTS • WHAT REALISTIC COMMITMENTS COME NEXT? • ARE THEY “YES-ABLE”? • ARE THEY COMPLIANCE PRONE?
NEGOTIATION – A GOOD OUTCOME • IS IT BETTER THAN OUR BATNA? (BEST ALTERNATIVE TO A NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT) • DOES IT SATISFY OUR INTERESTS AS WELL AS THEIRS? • IS IT A NO-WASTE SOLUTION; BEST OF MANY OPTIONS? • IS IT LEGITIMATE FOR ALL? NO ONE IS SEVERELY DISADVANTAGED

LAST THOUGHT • “A readiness to make concessions is a sign of strength, not weakness… In negotiations we are…seeking to give all the chance to begin again. The rigid will have a tough time. The flexible, those who are ready to make principled compromises, end up being the victors.” • Desmond Tutu
