Fisher and Ury Method

The Fisher and Ury method, known as principled negotiation or interest-based bargaining, is a approach to resolving conflicts by focusing on mutual interests rather than positions. It involves four key steps: separating the people from the problem, concentrating on interests rather than demands, generating multiple options for agreement, and insisting on objective criteria to evaluate solutions. This approach aims to find fair and mutually beneficial agreements, fostering collaboration instead of competition. It’s widely used in negotiations, mediations, and conflict resolution to achieve solutions that satisfy both parties effectively and constructively.
