A pull quote on a square, mottled, grey background: "- the right thing to do is not always self-evident. It can be buried beneath tecvhnical exclusions, discretionary silences, historical blind spots, or out-of-scope policy framings. Often, no one in the system feels authorised to name it, let alone act on it." Andrew C Wood.

It's not easy to model the trust expected of others when drafting an invitation to negotiate. Often, it goes against instinct and training. It might also set up the need for an internal negotiation with your own client.

Pull quote on a square orange background: "Every legal instinct might be to fight on in the hope or expectation of forcing a settlement under the pressure of litigation. The claimant might be urging you to do precisely that – and maybe not even in hope of securing a settlement, but out of a deeper need to assert identity, seeking recognition. " Andrew C. Wood.

Pull quote on an orange, square background: "There is a power in the Universe, I believe, that every now and then nudges us forward – sometimes none too gently! That says to us, “You’d better get a move on,” and sends us a challenge that prompts us to do just that. Andrew C. Wood.

Thinking, this week, about how we can build and nurture the #StructuredNegotiation mindset. As learning designers, we’d like to think that it would be possible to design a program that could support the development of a significant change in attitude.

Pull quote on a mottles, grey, square background: "Yet these approaches to the problem suggest that Structured Negotiation practitioners must be advocates for the process as well as advocates for the client and that the toughest negotiation of all may, at times, be the internal negotiation that takes place within the client team."

The latest in my series of 'Field Notes from Post-Law Peacemaking' delves further into the ways in which mediation and structured negotiation might work together to serve the requirements of relational justice.
