Benefits
The DACCORD® Advantage
Choosing the DACCORD® method transforms complex negotiations from a potential bottleneck into a structured, efficient, and fair process. It addresses the common pain points of multi-party agreements head-on, delivering tangible benefits for all involved. Key advantages include:
Accelerated Agreements
Drastically reduces negotiation time compared to traditional methods by replacing endless loops with structured phases and a single, focused negotiation session. Meet your deadlines reliably.
Enhanced Efficiency
Optimizes resource allocation by focusing efforts on critical issues and minimizing time wasted on unstructured discussions or managing chaotic feedback.
Increased Transparency & Predictability
The clear, phased process, guided by Process Letters, ensures all parties understand the steps, timelines, and rules from the beginning. No surprises.
Reduced Complexity
Systematically manages input from numerous stakeholders, transforming potentially overwhelming feedback into a clear, prioritized agenda for discussion.
Focus on Creative Solutions
The structured approach frees up mental capacity during the negotiation to focus on finding innovative, workable solutions that address the core issues, supported by experienced facilitation.
Fairness through All-Partiality
Independent facilitation ensures a level playing field, focusing on finding common ground acceptable to all parties and fostering win-win outcomes.
Bridging Worlds & Disciplines
Effectively translates between different stakeholder groups (academia/industry, legal/technical/business), fostering mutual understanding and overcoming communication barriers.
Empowered Participants
Allows key representatives (like project coordinators) to focus on advocating for their interests as equal partners, rather than being burdened with managing the entire negotiation process.
Clearer, Better Agreements
The structured feedback and resolution process leads to final documents that are not only agreed upon faster but are often more clear, concise, and understandable.
Commitment & Trust
While requiring upfront commitment to the process, DACCORD® delivers unparalleled transparency throughout, building trust among participants.
