Harrison-Chevalier Launches Comprehensive Negotiating Strategies Universal Framework (CNSUF) to Revolutionize Negotiation Practices

Harrison-Chevalier, Inc., led by Executive Vice-President Derrick Chevalier, introduces the Comprehensive Negotiating Strategies Universal Framework (CNSUF), transforming the field of negotiation with a versatile and effective approach.

A New Standard in Negotiation

Harrison-Chevalier, Inc. has announced the launch of its Comprehensive Negotiating Strategies Universal Framework (CNSUF), an innovative framework designed to adapt to various types of negotiations. This cutting-edge approach promises to deliver superior results for clients across industries including procurement, sales, real estate, finance, engineering, project management, law, politics, and international relations.

Derrick Chevalier: Expertise and Experience

Derrick Chevalier, Executive Vice-President of Harrison-Chevalier, Inc., has played a pivotal role in the development of CNSUF. With over 25 years of experience in negotiation consulting, training, mediation, and coaching, Chevalier has leveraged his extensive background and mentorship under renowned negotiation expert Dr. Chester Karrass. His educational credentials from Harvard Law School and the University of Southern California have further equipped him to lead this transformative initiative.

The Creation of CNSUF

The CNSUF was developed to address the limitations and vulnerabilities of traditional negotiation frameworks. By incorporating elements from iconic models such as Karrass Effective Negotiating, the Harvard Program on Negotiation, and contemporary approaches like Chris Voss’s “Never Split the Difference,” CNSUF offers a robust and adaptable system for modern negotiations. This framework redefines familiar terms, challenges concepts like “BATNA” and “win-win,” and introduces new strategies to ensure successful outcomes in any negotiation scenario.

Proven Success Across Industries

Harrison-Chevalier’s CNSUF framework has demonstrated its effectiveness in various sectors. In 2024 alone, the firm has successfully returned over a million dollars to non-profit and pro-bono clients, highlighting the practical impact of the CNSUF strategies. The updated 2025 edition of Derrick Chevalier’s book, “EVOLVE or Be Slaughtered: Negotiation For The 21st Century,” further underscores the relevance and impact of CNSUF in the contemporary business landscape.

What Sets Harrison-Chevalier Apart

Harrison-Chevalier distinguishes itself from other negotiation consultancy firms through the innovative CNSUF framework. This unique approach not only builds on the well-established models from Karrass International and the Harvard Program on Negotiation but also addresses their limitations, offering a more dynamic and effective approach to negotiation. The CNSUF framework incorporates five key elements: Contextual Analysis, Negotiation Strategy, Unbiased Facilitation, and Continuous Feedback.

By thoroughly analyzing the context of each negotiation, CNSUF ensures a tailored strategy that aligns with the specific needs and goals of the parties involved. This adaptability allows for a more nuanced understanding of the negotiation landscape, setting the stage for successful outcomes.

The negotiation strategy component focuses on developing a robust plan that leverages the strengths of the negotiating team while anticipating potential challenges and counterarguments. This strategic planning is grounded in the latest research and best practices, ensuring that clients are well-prepared for any scenario.

Unbiased facilitation is a cornerstone of the CNSUF framework. Harrison-Chevalier provides neutral third-party facilitators who guide the negotiation process, ensuring that discussions remain focused, productive, and equitable. This impartial oversight helps to build trust and foster collaboration between parties.

Continuous feedback is another critical aspect of CNSUF. Throughout the negotiation process, clients receive ongoing assessments and recommendations, allowing them to adjust their strategies in real-time. This iterative approach ensures that the negotiation remains dynamic and responsive to changing circumstances.

This adaptability and inventiveness ensure that CNSUF is well-suited to meet the challenges of today’s complex negotiation environments. Whether dealing with high-stakes business deals, international trade agreements, or internal corporate negotiations, Harrison-Chevalier’s CNSUF framework provides a comprehensive, flexible, and effective solution for achieving optimal outcomes.
