I havent got time for collaborative negotiations – I need a decision fast! Why would I bother?
Everyone likes to reach agreement quickly but when a paper agreement is signed without any real buy-in then it isnt really an agreement at all! Our approach aims for high levels of what we call implementation commitment. That is, agreements where all the parties commit voluntarily to implement and enforce their decisions. We do this by designing effective engagement processes and then facilitating an environment where the parties are heard, respected and their interests met. Often, parties achieve outcomes that exceed their own expectations and are certainly better than their alternatives. As outlined in Our working approach we are focused on the end game and design the most time efficient approaches possible.
