Georg Faust, lic. iur., LL.M. Associate Consultant
Worked for numerous years as Claims Manager and Internal Auditor in the direct and reinsurance industry as wll as for the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority which allowed him to develop considerable negotiation experience in an international environment.
«Every day, we negotiate on numerous occasions, often times unconsciously. – Three things fascinate me particularly regarding structured negotiations: the intensive examination (and revisiting) of one’s own and others’ interests, the raised awareness for the importance of good communication, and the creative process of developing options for sustainable negotiation solutions. Along with an increased negotiation competence, negotiation training has also the pleasant side-effect of strengthening solution-oriented thinking and communication skills.»

«My research into the use of natural resources often shows that a lack of negotiating skills can be the cause of conflict. We are working with Bullinger to make the insights of the Zurich Negotiating Model® applicable in our fieldwork.»

«I find it endlessly fascinating to observe how people involved in negotiations can resolve seemingly intractable situations by application of the Zurich Negotiating Model®. Its respectful, value-based approach leads to resolutions that are mutually benificial, offering additional advantages for all concerned.»
Michael Harth, Associate Consultant and Trainer
Experienced independent trainer, coach and organisational consultant. As a former lawyer and legal counsel, he has extensive experience in contract negotiations in an international environment.
«What do you see as fundamental elements of your top 10 negotiations? For me it is added benefits for both sides, based on a long-lasting business relationship and the development of a sound foundation of values and trust – the satisfaction of knowing that the deal could be sealed with a handshake. And this is what you get with the Zurich Negotiating Model®.»
Marcel Zosso, lic. oec. publ., economic mediator, Associate Consultant and Trainer
He collected broad, sales oriented management experience during his activites for well-respected major enterprises and SMEs in the national and international consumer goods industry, retail- and B-to-B business.
«When I met Michael Bullinger in a seminar on negotiation, it was immediately clear to me as a manager with a marketing and sales background that this approach to negotiation takes the interests of both parties into consideration, is mutually beneficial and therefore fair and sustainable. The further development of the concept to create the Zurich Negotiating Model®, which we use today in our training, offers a solution-oriented approach that can be applied in all business and life situations, not just in marketing.»
