Overview
What you will study
The key to negotiating effectively is to be proactive, not reactive. Your ability to frame the parameters at the outset of each negotiation is critical to success. To do that, however, you must fully understand the context and unique circumstances—including cultural differences and organizational dynamics—surrounding each negotiation before it begins.
The Negotiation Strategies - Building Agreement Across Boundaries program offered by Harvard University is designed specifically to give you these vital abilities. Through this program, you will master the strategic, analytic, and communication skills you need to negotiate effectively. And as an organizational leader, you will acquire the tools and frameworks to diagnose problems, build winning coalitions, and craft robust agreements.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Shaping the agenda for strategic action in the face of resistance and uncertainty
- Cultivating relationships in order to build coalitions and make effective deals

- Framing persuasive arguments and alternatives to create added value
- Shifting the balance of forces within and across organizations to build momentum
