Shifting Mindset: From Competitive to Collaborative Negotiation

Negotiation can be seen as a collaborative process where both parties work together to achieve a better outcome. Instead of approaching it with a win-lose mindset, known as distributive negotiation, adopting an integrative negotiation mindset can lead to a more favorable result. Integrative negotiation focuses on understanding the interests and priorities of both parties to create a larger pie. By identifying trade-offs, finding mutually beneficial solutions, and learning more about the other person's interests, negotiation becomes a conversation rather than a conflict. This collaborative approach to negotiation is similar to business design, where creating value for users and building a sustainable business case go hand in hand.
