LINC designs and facilitates negotiation simulations.  Our simulations can complement training courses for practitioners in conflict resolution and international relations.  Each of our simulations are created and customized to meet specific needs.  LINC frequently designs simulations on a particular conflict.  We can also create fictional simulations that isolate the particular dynamics of a real international conflict.  LINC will custom design a simulated experience to fit the appropriate skill level, subject matter knowledge and time allotment.

LINC staff members are trained professionally in negotiation and hold advanced degrees in conflict resolution.  Our individual expertise spans various professions and cultures but we share a common appreciation for the art of conflict resolution and mediation.  We facilitate our own negotiation simulations as well as real life negotiation sessions.

LINC exercises allow professional colleagues to work together in a unique setting to resolve a conflict outside of the confines of their typical role at work.  Participants build trust with one another and tap into their creativity by problem-solving collaboratively.  They also walk away with negotiation skills they can apply to their work and personal lives. LINC products and services will be assets to organizational efforts in team building and cross-cultural communication.

Additionally, LINC prepares individuals and parties for formal negotiations.  Our pre-negotiation sessions provide a framework to identify key interests and to ensure participants’ goals are in alignment.  Participants proceed to their formal negotiations knowing they are prepared to negotiate effectively and better able to achieve their goals.
