Negotiators seek to add value to the dialogue, allowing each stakeholder to leave the negotiation table feeling that they were treated fairly during the process. In bringing together senior executives from across industry sectors and distinguished faculty from Harvard Law School, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Tufts University, “The Program on Negotiation for Senior Executives” offers a highly interactive format that enables attendees to test out these techniques in specially designed simulations. “It’s the approach that separates the people from the problem…turns differences into mutual gains…and shows how you can win while being fair,” said Robert H. Mnookin, the Samuel Williston Professor of Law, Harvard Law School and PON Chair.
Throughout the session, attendees will learn best practices for implementing
mutual gains negotiations at every stage—from diagnosing the problem to building successful relationships and dealing with obstacles.
