Negotiation

About Programme

Knowing how to negotiate is critical. Negotiation isn't about winners and losers, whether between suppliers, clients, other managers, or external stakeholders. It’s about aligning resources appropriately and creating value.

Throughout Collaborative Negotiation, you’ll learn the essential skills: how to identify the need and opportunity for negotiations; how to be confident; how to prepare, lead, and adapt during negotiations.

This program is rooted in experiential learning. You’ll be challenged to negotiate with fellow participants, receive feedback, and reflect on your performance. You’ll leave confident in your ability to negotiate successfully.
