Knegotiations provides discreet research and advisory services to entities seeking to evolve out of a conflict or crisis through effective negotiations
To understand how we can guide you in your negotiations, it may be best to begin with the basics. A strategy is, in essence, a blueprint of what you are going to do to get what you want through a negotiation. A doctrine is the sound line of reasoning behind why you are doing what you are doing as part of your negotiation. Lastly, tactics are the main actions you take when implementing your negotiation strategy.
For a high-stakes negotiation to succeed, the forces of a sound doctrine, a clear strategy, and effective tactics must be in confluence with each other. Without such a confluence, you will not be able to get what you want.
One of the major factors that can disrupt such a confluence in high-stakes negotiations, for example, is the 'ego trap'. An ego trap is a convoluted space where forces that are inherently collaborative in nature are thrown into transactional conflict with each other due to the dominance gained by one's ego. When negotiations get caught in such traps, they are more likely to fail because the underlying confluence of strategy, doctrine and tactics is disrupted.
Unfortunately, failed negotiations do not come to an end. Instead, they tend to become more violent in nature due to people's tendency to use some form of force when they are finding it difficult to get what they want. Even a war is, in essence, the continuation of negotiations through military means. Hence, it is important to ensure your negotiations do not get caught in such convolutions that can only lead you towards more loss of value, not less!
Most negotiations can be evolved out of such convoluted deadlocks if the Via Knegativa approach is applied effectively. The insights gained by relying on this approach to handle negotiations can enable you to evolve out of such traps, without necessarily compromising on getting what you want.
Thus, Knegotiations is all about enabling you to get what you want by bringing deeper insights into your specific negotiations. Please get in touch if you are seeking to be guided in your high-stakes negotiations. However, if you would just prefer to occasionally receive some distilled insights but nothing more at this point in time, you may want to consider being part of this audience.
