Negotiating Effective Environmental Agreements 2009 May 13, 2009

---

Negotiation over complex environmental issues is often required in the day-to-day work of attorneys, planners, engineers and applied scientists, natural resource managers, real estate professionals and experts in hazardous waste cleanup. Yet for many of these professionals, negotiation techniques and their practical application were not part of their earlier training. CONCUR's professional development courses are specifically designed to equip professionals with these skills. Our training and real-world experience make us a premier provider of environmental training services.

Date: May 13-14, 2009

Location: Clark Kerr Campus of the University of California at Berkeley

In Course One, we show you how a process of face-to-face negotiation can augment traditional policy making with creative agreements that are better informed and more stable. During the training, participants learn the elements of mutual gains bargaining, apply them in a series of simulated disputes, and reflect on the application of these tools to everyday work situations.

The Agenda for Day One includes:
Current terminology

Detailed overview of the principled negotiation process

Current dispute resolution theories and their practical application

Negotiation styles and techniques

Hands-on simulations focused on environmental issues

Ethical responsibilities of negotiators

The Agenda for Day Two includes:

"How-to" guide for agreement-focused negotiation

Tools needed to be an effective negotiator

CONCURs stepwise model of mediated negotiation

Case studies, with topics ranging from land use planning and water resources management to statewide environmental planning

Ways to improve the negotiation process with mutual gains bargaining, joint fact-finding, and mediator or facilitator involvement
