Interest-Based Approach

The Interest-Based Approach is a method for resolving conflicts or negotiating by focusing on the underlying needs, desires, and concerns of all parties involved. Instead of starting with fixed positions or demands, it encourages open communication to understand what each person truly values. This way, solutions are more collaborative and satisfying for everyone, as they address the core interests rather than just superficial positions. It promotes mutual understanding and helps find win-win outcomes, making negotiations more effective and relationships stronger.
