The Program on Negotiation

The Program on Negotiation (PoN) is a research center at Harvard University that studies how people communicate, bargain, and reach agreements effectively. Its goal is to improve negotiation skills across various settings—business, law, diplomacy, and everyday life—by providing education, tools, and strategies. PoN combines academic research with practical application, helping individuals and organizations achieve better outcomes through understanding interests, managing conflicts, and fostering collaborations. Essentially, it’s a hub for learning and developing skills to negotiate with confidence and fairness.
