Syllabus
- Week Two
Monday, 6 March D
- Write and submit Coaching
Notes to your Role Partner.
- Prepare for tomorrow's
Negotiation Packaging Session with your Role Partner.
- Make a chart of all
tentative agreements reached thus far on Issues 1, 2 & 3.
- Compare and contrast
these agreements to the Interests/ Goals set out in your Confidentials.
- If you are displeased
with the agreements reached thus far then set out clear negotiation points
for the Packaging Session.
- For example, if you
do not want to give up A, then find a B or C on which you are willing to
be flexible.
- Please note, last-minute
agreements are easier to arrange if you have built support with others.
You may use some of the Packaging Session to meet with potential allies
to build consensus around a certain point. That way, you can return to the
whole-group meeting with the certainty of how particular groups feel about
a negotiation point.
- The Goal for tomorrow's
Packaging Session will be to emerge with mutually agreeable resolutions to
Issues 1, 2 & 3. Remember, agreeable means that each of you will be willing
to return to your constituencies with these agreements without concern that
you have betrayed your group's interests.
