Deal or No Deal: Improving the Odds of Successful Mediation

I have posted before on Don Philbin's masterpiece The One Minute Manager Prepares for Mediation: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Negotiation Preparation published in vol 13 of The Harvard Negotiation Law Review and a serious piece of work.


Don is now conducting an hour long ABA teleconference and live audio webcast
Deal or No Deal: Improving the Odds of Successful Mediation on Tuesday, July 14 at 1pm Eastern (12:00 PM Central/11:00 AM Mountain/10:00 AM Pacific).

'The panel will discuss the results of empirical studies of decisional errors in litigation comparing last settlement positions of parties who failed to settle to outcome of trial as well as explaining who did better; who did worst; and what was the cost of the error. They will also describe the techniques, such as graphically depicted outcome scenarios, that can be utilized during mediation to overcome psychological barriers to settlement'
