Negotiating to Win

Gain the skills, insights and competencies required in all negotiations—in every industry—at every level.

Whether it’s allocating resources for a project, funding a new initiative or establishing a supply chain for a new product or service, negotiation is inevitably at the heart of the process. But few people understand the structure, techniques and approaches available to them as they seek to positively influence an outcome. This hands-on seminar gives you a step-by-step guide to effective negotiation. You must identify the problem, understand it from the other’s perspective, generate alternative solutions and select a solution that benefits both sides. All parties need each other to achieve their goals. Negotiation focuses on solving the problem and closing the gap between what both parties want.

The class, while discussing intuitive content, allowed me to step back and evaluate my effectiveness from the eyes of the students via exercises. It also went over techniques that I did not think of. Overall, it was valuable.

I really liked the interactive sessions. They put you on the spot to apply the tactics addressed. I enjoyed how different they were and the increase in complexity. The stories in between the lectures were a great add.
