  • DRIVE BETTER OUTCOMES

    Rarely are important business decisions made independently; significant opportunities require working with others. Learning to negotiate and collaborate “on the fly” is difficult at best, absent any clear feedback. In this interactive course, progress through challenging problems to gain tools and strategic insights that can be readily applied to drive success in future competitive interactions.

What You'll Learn

Distributive Negotiation

Gain a better understanding of competitive and cooperative situations as they apply to negotiation. Prepare more systematically and establish a strategic mindset to drive collaborative interactions, including the application of game theory to more effectively participate in alliances, joint ventures, and negotiations.

Creating Gains in Negotiations

Incorporate means for creating value while simultaneously capturing resources and competing fairly.

Managing Group Negotiations

  • Learn to manage negotiations to enhance information exchange, maintain relationships and achieve optimal outcomes. Increase self-awareness and leverage personal strengths to compensate for areas of weakness
  • Learn how to effectively work with others, who often bring an entirely different vision and need-set to the table

 

Communication Tactics and Strategies to Enhance Outcomes

Identify roadblocks and biases that can lead to suboptimal outcomes, and learn to apply principles of decision quality to address them.
