Negotiation


How your leaders negotiate can greatly impact your organization's success. A critical labor-management dispute, licensing agreement, or sales negotiation may be a make-or-break experience at your organization. For this reason, it's in your organization's best interest to demand better returns on negotiations and expansion of the proverbial negotiation pie.

At Ki ThoughtBridge, we have helped school districts, communities, governments, and businesses across the country to resolve difficult issues, reach consensus on important goals, and negotiate collective bargaining contracts, while Connecting Ideas for Powerful ResultsTM.

3 Categories of Negotiation

We specialize in three categories of negotiation:

1. Transactions

  • Licensing agreements
  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Sales and account management strategies
  • Negotiation skills enhancement

2. Conflict Resolution

  • Historical analysis for relationship repair
  • Mediation of disputes
  • Facilitation of difficult conversations
  • Capacity building for problem-solving

3. Labor Relations

  • Internal team alignment
  • Preparation for negotiations
  • Skills and methodology transfer for negotiation teams
  • Joint labor and management training

Through consultation, facilitation, mediation, and training, we can help you gain the best possible return on each negotiation, while improving critical business relationships to ensure long-term results. Ki ThoughtBridge can help you achieve a successful negotiation, or strengthen your leaders' negotiation skills, through:

  • Assessment: Using a combination of diagnostics, historical review, observations, and interviews, we look at both sides of a dispute to gather data, understand the differing perceptions, and identify the tough issues to be addressed in the negotiation.

  • Negotiation Facilitation: We come into your organization to facilitate joint training workshops and bargaining sessions, until both parties in a negotiation reach an agreement.

Clients in the most divisive disputes have learned that the Ki ThoughtBridge negotiation tools, techniques, and experiences help deliver fair, practical results for all parties involved.

"You and your organization are amazing. Largely because of the process and your personal efforts, we covered ground that needed to be explored. While there was a genuine interest on both sides to reach an agreement, it was clear from the discussion and its facilitation, deeper issues needed to be addressed.

Like a mid-stream course correction, this negotiation session helped assure that not only were we on track but most importantly we would not be working at cross purposes."
