About

We offer a short course in Negotiation Strategies - Building Agreement Across Boundaries at Harvard Kennedy School. When it comes to successful negotiations, the only advantage you have is the capacity to understand and shape the negotiating environment before circumstances force you to react. Doing that isn't so easy, however.

Overview

Key facts

  • Effective negotiation is not about being stubborn in the face of inevitable change. Nor is it about being passive when challenged. It is about mastering strategic and analytic skills that enable you, as an organizational leader, to accurately diagnose problems, build winning coalitions and craft robust agreements.
  • In short, it is about shaping your circumstances before they shape you.

Improve Your Negotiation Strategies

  • Negotiation Strategies - Building Agreement Across Boundaries is a one-week program from Harvard Kennedy School that goes beyond other negotiation workshops to address the challenges of negotiating across cultures, organizations and sectors.
  • Led by Harvard faculty with decades of experience, this program explores how to achieve consensus among a variety of stakeholders in order to create sustainable solutions. You'll examine the effects of social and organizational culture on negotiation while also developing the adaptive skills you need to translate your effectiveness to other settings.
