An article in the Harvard Business Review recommends "investigative negotiation," as a method of expanding agreement options and forging more successful resolutions. Authors Deepak Malhotra and Max H. Bazerman delineate five principles of investigative negotiation:
Ask why the other side wants what it wants;
Mitigate the other party’s constraints;
Interpret demands as opportunities;
Create common ground with adversaries; and
Investigate even if the deal seems lost.
Solid advice for ombuds coaching visitors. (HBR in Brief.)
