Under the leadership of Derrick Chevalier, the firm provides specialized consulting and training services across a wide range of sectors, including procurement, sales, real estate, finance, engineering, project management, law, politics, and international relations. CNSUF™ has proven to be a game-changer, offering unparalleled results and adaptability to any negotiation scenario.

Derrick Chevalier: A Legacy of Expertise

Derrick Chevalier, Executive Vice-President of Harrison-Chevalier, Inc., brings over 25 years of experience in negotiation consulting, training, mediation, and coaching. Mentored by the renowned negotiation expert Dr. Chester Karrass for fourteen years, Chevalier has honed his skills and knowledge to become a leading figure in the field. His educational background includes certifications from Harvard Law School and degrees from the University of Southern California and Western Washington University. Chevalier’s dedication to his craft is evident in his commitment to empowering clients with the skills and strategies needed to achieve the ‘highest and best possible outcomes.’

The Birth of CNSUF™

The Comprehensive Negotiating Strategies Universal Framework (CNSUF)™ is a unique, proprietary system designed to address and improve upon the limitations of iconic negotiation frameworks. CNSUF™ integrates and enhances concepts from well-established models, such as Karrass Effective Negotiating, the Harvard Program on Negotiation, and contemporary approaches from Chris Voss’s “Never Split the Difference.” By challenging long-standing misconceptions and introducing new, adaptable strategies, CNSUF™ provides a robust foundation for successful negotiations in the contemporary global economy.

Transformative Impact Across Sectors

Harrison-Chevalier’s CNSUF™ framework has delivered exceptional results for clients across various industries. Notably, the firm has helped return over two million dollars, including fees, to non-profit and pro-bono clients in 2024 alone. The updated 2025 edition of Chevalier’s book, “EVOLVE or Be Slaughtered: Negotiation For The 21st Century,” serves as the foundation for CNSUF™ and further solidifies the framework’s relevance and effectiveness.

Client Testimonials: A Testament to Success

Clients consistently praise Derrick Chevalier’s innovative approach and the tangible benefits of CNSUF™. Tina Toma, JD, MBA, remarked, “Derrick’s negotiation framework ensures that all tactics are thoughtfully considered. This pragmatic approach results in unparalleled outcomes. A notable achievement was his role in averting a multi-million-dollar tariff, converting it into our organization’s most significant financial gains. This accomplishment, among others, directly reflects Derrick’s strategic acumen and decisive leadership.”

Fred Botero, VP Purchasing, echoed these sentiments, stating, “Derrick is one of the most dynamic and creative individuals I have ever known. He mixes real-life business examples with theory to provide a rich and compelling experience which cannot be forgotten.”

Bettina Spickelmier, Procurement Director, highlighted the superiority of CNSUF™ training, saying, “Last week I took a training class with the ISM (Institute for Supply Management). It was supposed to be an advanced negotiation class but it ended up being rather basic and not demanding. This class showed me again how much I have learned from you via the CNS training, the war game(s) as well as the individual sessions.”

What Sets Harrison-Chevalier Apart

The CNSUF™ framework sets Harrison-Chevalier apart from its competitors by offering solutions that are both inventive and adaptable. While traditional models like those of Karrass International and the Harvard Program on Negotiation, provide valuable insights, CNSUF™ builds on these foundations to address their limitations and vulnerabilities. By redefining familiar terms and challenging conventional concepts such as “BATNA”, “win-win” and “split the difference,” CNSUF™ offers a more dynamic and effective approach to negotiation.
