5. Negotiation Strategy: “Getting to Yes” Separate the people from the problem – Think of the negotiation as a means to solving a problem and the people on the other side as partners helping to find a solution. Focus on interests, not positions – It's important to communicate your interests to the other party. Don't assume they have the same interests as you or that they know what your interests are. Don't assume you know what interests the other party has. Invent options for mutual gain – Don't judge the ideas people bring forward, just get them on the board. Invent ways of making the other party's decisions easy. Insist on using objective criteria – Objective criteria need to be independent of each side's will. … Invent a list of actions you might take if no agreement is reached http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_to_YES

10. DEBRIEF SMARTIC

11. SMARTIC Debrief How did players resolve strategies within the different groups? – Did the strategies change from one region to another as the environmental conditions changed, or due to involvement of different stakeholders? – How did the crisis influence the strategies? Was it better to keep your negotiation resources private? – Or open for all to see? Which stakeholders are typically in alignment? – Which stakeholders are typically in conflict? Which stakeholders stand to gain most? – Which stakeholders stand to gain least? In this version of the game, you played the role of stakeholders.
