Course Information

Introduction

In these highly interactive workshops (1 and 2), the focus will be on the project manager and the project environment to understand the causes of disputes and how to manage these disputes through the use of negotiation and mediation.
We will consider the building blocks that create disputes and those that assist in or detract from their resolution.
You will be invited to engage in reflection, conversation, and exercises as disputes are studied and models for addressing them are considered.
Significant time will be given to skill building for effective speaking and effective listening and understanding conflict modes.
You will also build negotiation and mediation skills, and then move beyond skills to a strategic awareness of the choices negotiators and mediators make in facilitating dispute resolution.
You will examine in detail the elements of interest-based negotiation and mediation, while maintaining relationships.
The inter-university Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School model will be the primary focus. This interest-based approach believes that every negotiation involves the creation and claiming of value and that every negotiation ought to focus on interests, not positions.
In the second week, workshops (3 & 4), are designed to help you fully realize the risks of disputes associated with a project during its different phases, and to define and fully understand the parties’ obligations to mitigate such risks.
You will learn how to design the contract with measures to avoid the negative outcomes of such disputes.
You will also
Learn how to select procurement strategies and procedures, along with how to select the best contractor for the project.
You will also systematically cover the subjects vital to training good contract and field administrators to manage time, cost, documentation, and disputes during this phase.
A variety of case studies will be presented .
