Negotiated Decision Framework (NDF)

Purpose: Navigate multi-stakeholder decisions where different parties have legitimate but competing interests. NDF helps find decisions that stakeholders can live with, even if no one gets everything they want.

When to Use NDF

Use NDF when:

  • Multiple stakeholders must agree (or at least not block)
  • Different parties have different success criteria
  • Power dynamics or politics affect the decision
  • Past decisions created winners/losers who remember
  • "Best technical answer" won't get adopted due to stakeholder resistance
  • Need buy-in for implementation success

Don't use NDF when:

  • Single decision-maker with clear authority (use ToT)
  • Stakeholders agree on criteria (use ToT with shared criteria)
  • Conceptual tension, not stakeholder tension (use DR)
  • Time pressure prevents negotiation (use RTR, negotiate later)
