A crisis negotiator doesn’t work in a vacuum. Effective crisis negotiation requires the right training, tools, and highly choreographed teamwork.
Before agencies start looking at the tools of the trade, their designated crisis negotiators need to be trained and tested on how to assess each situation as it arises. They must select from a library of pre-prepared scenarios that their teams must execute with precision when preparing for critical negotiations.
Each scenario might include steps to appoint a negotiation leader, allocate negotiating roles and responsibilities, and develop the negotiation strategies and techniques to be employed.
Only after building a library of negotiation strategies and techniques should tools be assessed to provide the appropriate support.
