  • Programming AI Agent Values: The Strategic Choice Behind Every AI Negotiation

    Send a text

    When deploying AI negotiation assistants, organizations face a fundamental question: should your agent extract maximum value or seek fair, mutually beneficial outcomes? This isn't a technical decision—it's philosophical, reflecting your company's approach to relationships and value creation.

    In this episode with Prof. Remi Smolinski, we explore how sales teams use integrative approaches to move beyond price discussions, while procurement requires sophisticated routing using the Kraljic matrix to match suppliers with appropriate strategies. We also examine how agents can adapt strategies in real-time based on counterpart behavior.

  • Why AI Gives Negotiators 48% Better Outcomes (Even Without Trust)

    Send a text

    In this first of three episodes based on my conversation with negotiation expert Remi Smolinski, I share key insights about how AI transforms negotiation outcomes. Based on research with 120+ executives, we discuss why negotiators using large language models achieve 40-48% better individual results and 84% better joint outcomes - even without building trust first. I explain the practical workflow systems I've developed for sales and procurement teams and why symmetric AI adoption creates fairer negotiations. Key findings from my paper 'When AI Joins the Table: How Large Language Models Transform Negotiations.'
