There are important decisions for which you do not have the authority to implement some alternatives that have great appeal to you. Someone else, who I refer to as the authorized decision-maker, controls whether the alternative that you prefer can be implemented. There is an effective way to remove such restrictions. You need to create a specific alternative that includes both the general features of your desired alternative and additional features to make that specific alternative attractive to the authorized decision-maker. You design it to be sufficiently attractive for it to be an alternative that cannot be refused by the authorized decision-maker. Knowing some values of the authorized decision-maker with respect to the decision at hand is a key to create desirable alternatives for him or her. Various procedures to do this are discussed. Value-focused negotiations indicate how knowing your negotiating partner’s values allows you to create win-win alternatives that better achieve their and your objectives. The procedure to generate post-agreement improvements to negotiations is also discussed.
