Background CMIIG originated in the Harvard Negotiation Project, the negotiation hub and theory most widely acknowledged throughout the world in the last 25 years. Our predecessors, Conflict Management Inc. (CMI) and Conflict Management Group (CMG) have been pioneer organizations in putting such theory into practice in the business and political world.
In 1997, was born, blending the practical experience of CMI and CMG with Harvard Negotiation Project s most recent developments, and focused on delivering best service provision and dissemination of the negotiation method. What Do We Understand by Negotiation? Our notion of negotiation encompasses all areas of relationships between people. We not only negotiate when there is an agreement at hand and money issues to solve, although that is the most pervasive notion about negotiation. The truth is that life is an ongoing negotiation and, in that regard, we underscore not only the fact that we are negotiating but HOW we do it, and we always bet on improving results through a better understanding of the influence exercised by the human dimension as well as by processes.
