Essentials of Negotiation

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 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 learn and apply the skills to identify the problem, understand the other’s perspective, generate alternative solutions and achieve a solution that benefits both sides. All parties need each other to achieve their goals. This collaborative approach to negotiation focuses on solving the problem and closing the gap between what both parties want.

  • Johnson C., Senior Technical Solutions Specialist Sep 24, 2024

    Instructor Mary was very knowledgeable and experienced with negotiating. There were plenty of breaks which allowed time for participants to absorb the material as well as for them to take care of their work. The team exercises and roleplays were fun and useful for practicing how to negotiate.

    I really like the hands-on group work and scenarios we are asked to participate in. This helps to apply the knowledge we are receiving and gain experience using it.
