Unlike traditional bargaining, where the parties begin with predetermined positions on issues, the process opens with both parties first seeking to understand the issue or problem.
Next, they identify the underlying interests of each side. Often, parties discover that their interests are mutual and that both sides are trying to achieve the same goal but just taking different approaches. Having identified interests, the parties can generate options that satisfy their needs. Options are evaluated according to objective criteria.
Parties find that interest-based bargaining is a process that enables traditional negotiators to become joint problem solvers. It assumes that mutual gain is possible, that solutions which satisfy mutual interests are more durable, and that solutions are more creative.
