The principled negotiation method was developed in the 1970s by Professors Roger Fisher and William Ury, professors of law at Harvard. It was during the Camp David Accords in 1978 that this method was used for the first time. Building on their experience, Fisher and Ury then founded the Harvard Negotiation Project in 1979.
An approach based on 4 key principles
Reasoned negotiation is based on four fundamental principles that guide the conflict resolution process:
Separation of people and problem
It's about treating the problem as such, putting aside emotions and personal relationships. By focusing on the interests at stake rather than the positions taken, it becomes possible to find mutually beneficial solutions.
Focus on interests
Rather than clinging to fixed positions, principled negotiation encourages parties to identify and understand the underlying interests that motivate their respective positions. This approach paves the way for creative solutions that satisfy all parties involved.
Search for mutually beneficial solutions
By seeking options that meet the interests of all parties, reasoned negotiation promotes the search for win-win agreements. It is about developing solutions that provide mutual benefits rather than seeking to obtain an exclusive advantage.
Use of objective criteria
Reasoned negotiation is based on objective, measurable and reliable criteria, accepted by all parties. This allows the negotiation to be anchored on a solid and transparent basis, thus avoiding haggling and unnecessary conflicts.
