2. Negotiation-Planning Tools

An integral part of Harvard University Global System^® (HUGS), these tools speed-up the preparation of negotiation and help reduce the uncertainty facing negotiators, mediators, arbitrators, project managers, bankers, diplomats and other professionals, be they tackling big-ticket items or day-to-day negotiation work. Subjected to extensive field tests, HUGS templates are potent brainstorming tools to invent options for mutual gains, and anticipate and manage frequently neglected risks.

Harvard^® Negotiation Mandate (Code 45N)

Harvard^® Negotiation Mandate is the first in a set of three practical instruments used to plan and conduct principled negotiations. This two-page document provides a step-by-step template to define the scope of the negotiation from the perspective of each party. A clear mandate means valid goals and deliverables, adequate resources and a sound evaluation system with objectively verifiable standards and performance indicators. The tool includes a framework to make grey areas explicit, and to identify and manage both initial and residual risks related to the conditions beyond the control of each negotiating party. Complete one document for each side involved, including key stakeholders in multipartite negotiations. The tool is almost identical to Harvard^® Project-Scope Definition Tool (Code 45A).
Each 2-page document is available at $12 per set of 100 units.

Harvard^® Negotiation-Strategy Tool (Code 55N)

The Negotiation-Strategy Tool is a creativity instrument that helps negotiators invent and explore a complete panorama of strategic choices with less guesswork. This two-page brainstorming checklist widens the window through which opportunities are viewed. With it, you can organize your thinking process and break down the barriers to innovation – at every step in the negotiation value chain. Even when the strategy is clear, its execution can be fraught with perils. That is why the tool also provides a step-by-step scenario to help users reduce implementation risks, turn resistance to change into constructive engagement, and mitigate residual risks and collateral damage. The tool is almost identical to Harvard^® Project Strategy: Team-Brainstorming Board (Code 55A).
Each 2-page Negotiation-Strategy document is available at $12 per set of 100 units.
