17. Negotiating around Fixed Positions Probe for the beliefs and goals behind the fixed position. Example of a fixed position: “ I will not agree to outsource, regardless of savings” Surface goal: “Not to be burned the way we were 5 years ago” Underlying belief: “Work is controllable if we do it in-house” Underlying goals: To have control, stability, minimum risk, and not have to lay-off anyone . Underlying realities: Managing this work in-house is a costly pain, and not our core skill. These people can be redeployed on urgent backlog. Now you have the basis for analysis of alternatives, risks, contingencies, develop pros and cons, then negotiate!
