Who should attend: Negotiators and mediators of all levels of experience, lawyers who attend mediations, business and government officials, and anyone who wants to increase competency in negotiation skills and processes
Learning level: Fundamental/Intermediate
Most negotiations involve making mutual concessions about "topics" — for example, alleged facts, blame, rules, and remedies. It is common for negotiators to make progress on these topics, and then get stuck on one last item — the last thousand dollars, the words of an apology, sharing of legal costs. Both parities stonewall angrily about the "last gap" which often seems trivial to an outsider. Why does this last gap occur and why is it so economically irrational?
After taking this course you will know:
- why the "last gap" looms irrationally over many negotiations
- how to prepare yourself and your clients for this frustrating roadblock
- 16 methods commonly used to cross the last gap (apart from trying to "split the difference”)
- which of these methods are the most effective and when
This is the third course in the Negotiation Series: Roadblocks and How to Overcome Them, a three-part series that will identify three common roadblocks experienced every day while negotiating. The courses in this series are:
(1) 17 Strategies for Re-opening Hopelessly Deadlocked Negotiations — Friday,
October 23, 2020, 9:00 – 10:00 am
(2) Influential Outsiders in Negotiation — Friday, October 23, 2020, 10:30 – 11:30 am
(3) The Last Gap in Negotiations and How to Cross It — Friday, October 23, 2020, 12:00 – 1:00 pm
Guarantee: If you are a professional negotiator, mediator, lawyer, politician or business person, you will have already encountered these three hurdles—get a handle on how best to manage these roadblocks from an expert.
Law Society of BC CPD Hours: 1 hour (this course will NOT involve any professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, and/or practice management)
