Essential Skills: Negotiating from Experience - 3-Hour Class
This course will be conducted in English.
This 3-hour workshop, like the future full course, is aimed at being practical and useful. It relies not on theory but on practical case studies, some of success, some of failure, but all offering valuable lessons.
We invite participants to share one example from their own negotiating experience. Some of these will be discussed in the 3-hour workshop and at least one will be reviewed at the end of the workshop to see whether any improvements in approach could be made as a result of the learning points form the workshop.
Overall Future Course Objectives
The course aims to develop a strategic mindset of negotiation and cover a range of practical skills in negotiations:
Haggling (Bargaining) – is this really negotiation?
Adding value – how to explore and capitalise on value
Negative value – how to recognise and avoid negative value
Managing expectations – how to choose your are of negotiation
Preparing – how to find out what you don't know
Setting goals – how to set goal and limits
Developing power – how to think and plan ahead
Controlling timing – how to use ‘time-out’s to enhance negotiation
Closing a deal – how to use a simple approach
Walking away – how to recognise when to walk away
The course draws on real examples of negotiations from around the world, using them to demonstrate negotiation skills. Some are examples of successes and some are failures and from these we develop key learning points as a key feature of the course.
Role-play forms an integral part of the course, starting with simple cases and moving on to more challenging situations as the course progresses.
Who should attend? Anyone who would like to build negotiation ability.
