Three Objectives

    approach to negotiating

6
Discussion of
  • Definition of Negotiation
  • Types of Negotiation Methods
  • The Interest-based Negotiation Process

7
What is Negotiation?
  • Back-and-forth communication to reach an
    agreement
  • A means of getting what you want from others
  • An attempt to resolve differences

8
Why Do We Negotiate?
  • Because we want or need
  • Something others have
  • Someone to do something

9
When Do We First Learn to Negotiate?
10
What Do We Negotiate Over in Government
Acquisition?
  • Price
  • Delivery
  • Quality

11
Two Types Of Negotiation
  • Position Based (The What)
  • Interest Based (The Why)

12
Position-Based Negotiation
  • Focuses on pre-determined solutions
  • Attacks the opposing parties positions
  • Produces unsatisfactory agreements

13
Interest-Based Negotiation (IBN)
  • Focuses on all parties
  • Individual needs
  • Organizational needs

14
Five Elements of IBN
  1. Separate the people from the problem
  2. Focus on interests, not positions
  3. Create options for mutual gain
  4. Define objective criteria
  5. Develop your BATNA

15
1. Separate the People from the Problem
  • People and problems get entangled by
  • Emotions
  • Communications
  • Perceptions

16
2. Focus On Interests
  • Positions
  • Involve a Predetermined solution
  • Require justification (defense)
  • End discussions
  • Interests
  • Examine Why a solution is preferred
  • Require explanation (reason)
  • Start discussions

17
3. Options for Mutual Gain
  • Recognize there can be gt 1 option
  • Expand the pie thru Brainstorming

18
4. Objective Criteria (Mutually Acceptable
Yardsticks)
  • Others in the industry do
  • The last time this happened we
  • The standard contract says
  • What is customary
  • Precedent
  • Law

19
5. BATNA
  • Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement (Walk
    Away Position)
  • Consider what you will do if an agreement is NOT
    reached
  • Is Activated when Alternatives are OUTSIDE the
    negotiation
  • Must be real and concrete

20
Options vs. BATNA
  • Options
  • Inside the negotiation
  • Created with counterpart
  • Potential solution(s)/ brainstorming
  • BOTH you and counterpart receive benefit
  • BATNA
  • Outside the negotiation
  • Created alone
  • Fall back position if negotiation fails
  • ONLY impacts you/your organization
