Negotiation Lab Limited

The Negotiation Lab is a global multi-discipline advisory and training consultancy that offers basic and advanced negotiation skills workshops using the Harvard University teaching method and materials to business executives, government officials and university students. The Negotiation Lab's consultancy service provides tailored one-to-four day training programs to private companies and government organizations in negotiation, mediation and crisis management; including in-house training courses and open enrollment workshops. We harness the objectivity of academia, the skills of research, the expertise of practitioners, and the boundless energy and curiosity of students in providing dispute resolution analysis and designing best practices. Incorporating the latest technology, our aim is to provide an interactive community that extends beyond the classroom to help participants apply Negotiation Lab learning’s to real-time situations. On a corporate level, the Negotiation Lab has worked in the UK, USA, Qatar, Dubai, Russia and Zimbabwe on projects ranging from negotiation programs for the African retail conglomerate OK Enterprises and global energy service firms such as Halliburton and Baker Hughes to crisis management programs for the technology multinational firm Invensys Plc, and media relations firms Keyhaven and Deverell Associates. On a government level, the Negotiation Lab has worked with the UN, ITC, EU, and the Commonwealth Secretariat delivering training to African Parliamentarians and trade negotiators to the small island nations in the Pacific and Caribbean. The Negotiation Lab was launched in 2006 as the enterprise arm of the Conflict Analysis Research Centre (CARC) at the School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent with a government grant. In 2010 it became an independently run operation, and in 2013 it was incorporated as the Negotiation Lab Limited in England and Wales (Company Number 8602615).
