IN-PERSON SESSION – UMKC Bloch Executive Hall (5108 Cherry Street, Kansas City, MO 64110) – Room 413.
The best negotiation results come from understanding that every negotiation is a tool to solve a problem. Skilled negotiators work to understand exactly what problem they’re solving, how to approach it as efficiently as possible, and how to distribute the value of that solution to maximum advantage.

What You Will Learn
This course covers the core content of an intensive negotiation training program. Its lessons are built on the experience of advising negotiators in elite private and public institutions, from Fortune 10 companies to military special forces. You will develop a clearer, more practical perspective on deal making by exploring four critical, transformative phases of interest-based negotiation:
Explore. Challenge your assumptions as to who the parties are, what they want, and what’s possible.
Expand. Bring new options to the table to add value; bring new parties to the table to transform the negotiation.
Divide. Satisfy all the parties to reach agreement, while allocating value advantageously.
Agree. Make every conversation work towards the final agreement.
In addition, you will discuss practical but underutilized negotiation tactics and have multiple opportunities to experiment with them in simulated negotiations.
Key Topics
- Creating effective negotiation strategies
- Challenging assumptions about parties, options, risks, and rewards
- Understanding the perspective of other parties
- Generating creative options to create more efficient deals
- Using fair standards to distribute gains
- Identifying and handling irrational behavior in negotiation
Who Should Attend
This course is appropriate for negotiators of all skill levels. Novice negotiators will learn to create and follow effective strategies. Experienced negotiators will apply a new framework to fundamental negotiation concepts, developing their perspective on effective negotiation. They will also cover new concepts, such as managing irrational beliefs and behavior on both sides of the table.
