ABOUT CMI INTERSER

CMI Interser has its origins in the Harvard Negotiation Project, the world’s most recognized negotiation center and theory for the last 35 years.

Its predecessors, Conflict Management Inc. (CMI) and Conflict Management Group (CMG) were pioneering organizations in putting these theories into practice, both in the world of business and politics.

In 1997, CMI International Group was born, which combines the practical experience of CMI and CMG with the latest developments of the Harvard Negotiation Project, with the aim of bringing this negotiation methodology to the business and personal world. In 2016, CMI International Group reformulated its brand and became CMI Interser.

CMI Interser is an international consultancy specialized in negotiation, building meaningful relationships, mediation, prevention and conflict resolution. Its headquarters are in the city of Cambridge, MA, with regional offices in most countries in Latin America and Europe.

In Brazil, we established our headquarters in 2017.

PURPOSES

In the most diverse scenarios and in the current context, more than ever, people and organizations need to differentiate themselves and obtain better results in the long term, counting on the ability to communicate, persuade and build relationships.

Leading, negotiating, persuading, connecting and influencing are the different forms that the verb communicate takes. No relationship is possible without communication. It is an indispensable skill, resource and vehicle.

It is not possible to influence and persuade if we are not able to know ourselves first and observe, explore and understand others. Only by putting ourselves in someone else’s shoes can we generate the empathy and trust necessary to influence and lead.

It is possible to lead processes, points of view, moods, emotions or decisions. When we talk about persuasion, we are referring to a process in which “one person influences another, in a system and through a relationship.

Both professionally and personally, to undertake the task of negotiating and influencing others, you need to have resources and skills to:
