About
Our Story
Who We Are | The Negotiation Task Force (NTF) is an R&D and advisory group that specializes in negotiation strategy in crisis situations.
Our Mission | We prepare you for high-stakes, high-risk situations characterized by chaos, crisis, and complexity – “3C Environments” that are a substantial risk even for experienced leaders.
Our Secret | We know that chaos in negotiations can be overwhelming. But chaos is also a source of power. We show you how to use it.
Our Roots | The NTF was incubated in 2019 through the Scholar-Entrepreneur Initiative at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University. In 2023, the NTF transitioned out of the university to become an independent organization.
Our Clients | We have worked with clients in government (e.g., the U.S. Department of State), military (e.g., the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command), the private sector (e.g., one of the world’s largest commercial airlines), and philanthropy (e.g., one of America’s largest private foundations) in the United States, Europe, and volatile environments across Eurasia (e.g., Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Middle East).
