Difference between my Position-Based Negotiation course with DoD and the new Interest-based Negotiation Concept-40 hour course-Emphasis on WINNING-Two Groups – 50% students represented contractor, 50% Government-Worked on math-laden proposal for 4 days and conducted the negotiation on 5th day-Negotiations were Emotional (apprehension, anger, tears)

Discussion of:
• Definition of Negotiation
• Types of Negotiation Methods
• The Interest-based Negotiation Process
![Page 7: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What is Negotiation?
• Back-and-forth communication to reach an agreement
• A means of getting what you want from others
• An attempt to resolve differences
![Page 8: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why Do We Negotiate?
Because we want or need:
– Something others have
– Someone to do something
![Page 9: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
When Do We First Learn to Negotiate?
![Page 10: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What Do We Negotiate Over in Government Acquisition?
• Price
• Delivery
• Quality
![Page 11: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Two Types Of Negotiation
• Position Based (The What)
• Interest Based (The Why)
![Page 12: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Position-Based Negotiation
• Focuses on pre-determined solutions
• Attacks the opposing parties’ positions
• Produces unsatisfactory agreements
![Page 13: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Interest-Based Negotiation (IBN)
Focuses on all parties:
– Individual needs
– Organizational needs
![Page 14: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Five Elements of IBN
1. Separate the people from the problem
2. Focus on interests, not positions
3. Create options for mutual gain
4. Define objective criteria
5. Develop your BATNA
![Page 15: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1. Separate the People from the ProblemPeople and problems get entangled by:
– Emotions
– Communications
– Perceptions
![Page 16: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2. Focus On Interests
Positions
– Involve a Predetermined solution
– Require justification (defense)
– End discussions
Interests
– Examine “Why” a solution is preferred
– Require explanation (reason)
– Start discussions
![Page 17: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. Options for Mutual Gain
• Recognize there can be > 1 option
• Expand the pie thru Brainstorming
![Page 18: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
4. Objective Criteria (Mutually Acceptable Yardsticks)
• “Others in the industry do…”
• “The last time this happened we…”
• “The standard contract says…”
What is customary
Precedent
Law
![Page 19: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
5. BATNA
Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement (Walk Away Position)
– Consider what you will do if an agreement is NOT reached
– Is Activated when Alternatives are OUTSIDE the negotiation
– Must be real and concrete
![Page 20: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Options vs. BATNA
Options
“Inside” the negotiation
– Created with counterpart
– Potential solution(s)/ brainstorming
– BOTH you and counterpart receive benefit
BATNA
“Outside” the negotiation
– Created alone
– Fall back position if negotiation fails
– ONLY impacts you/your organization
![Page 21: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The IBN Process
1-Separate the people from the problem

![Page 29: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
4. USE OBJECTIVE CRITERIA (for Negotiation with Contractor)
• Rates in GWAC Contract(s) or existing DOI Contract(s)
• Consumer Price Index
• DCMA Forward Pricing Rates
![Page 30: INTRODUCTION Armenda Daye, Procurement Analyst, Acquisition Career Manager, DOI Overview of the new “Interest-Based Negotiations” course Personal Background](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495acc6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
5. IDENTIFY YOUR BATNA
• Target Price in Pre-Negotiation Memorandum
