BENSON, PH.D. “Interest Based Negotiation: Letting Them Have Your Way (For Their Reasons)” Jerry R. Benson, PhD, Chief Operating Officer of UTA presented an informative and practical workshop on interest based negotiation, starting with the basics of interest based negotiation, and concluding with a role-playing exercise and discussion. Key take-home messages: Be prepared Know what you want and what your negotiating partner wants Think of the other party as a partner rather than an adversary Know your alternatives if the negotiation fails (BATNA: best alternative to a negotiated agreement) status quo or impasse procedure Separate the people from the problem Focus on interests and not positions Use mentors to help identify your interests and those of your partner Peer mentors are great for role play More senior mentors may have insight into partner’s interests Create and claim value Joint collaborative problem solving Invent options for mutual gain—and make the gain clear Know who the true decision maker is Understand and control the negotiating environment An excellent source book on interest based negotiation is Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In, by Fisher and Ury.

Donate to Haiti Relief ! Women in Medicine & Science SPOTLIGHT ON WIMS Kathleen B. Digre, MD Professor of Neurology and Ophthalmology First U of U ELAM Fellow In 1999, at the urging of her Chair, Randall Olson, Kathleen B. Digre, MD, was the first University of Utah SOM faculty member to participate in Drexel University’s Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine Program for Women (ELAM). Established in 1995, ELAM offers an intensive one-year program of leadership training with coaching, networking and mentoring opportunities aimed at expanding the national pool of qualified women candidates for leadership in academic medicine, dentistry and public health. In the US and Canada, ELAM alumnae (ELUMS) make up 25 percent of the executive positions in academic medicine and dentistry that are held by women, including 21 current or former deans, 90 department chairs, 30 center or institute directors, and 70 senior dean's staff. Dr. Digre’s enthusiasm for her ELAM experience has led to a commitment by the University of Utah SOM’s leadership to nominate women faculty every year, a level of commitment made by few academic medical centers, with Monica Vetter, PhD enrolled as our eleventh fellow in 2009-10. Utah ELUMS now provide strong leadership throughout the School of Medicine, and will be highlighted in our E-Newsletter in future issues.
