This course will be conducted in English. This one-day course aims to develop a strategic mindset of negotiation and is highly practical rather than theoretical. It is built around real case studies drawn from real examples in 10 countries from around the world. It focuses on the 'how and why a particular negotiation succeeded, or failed.'
This course covers a range of practical skills in negotiations:
- Adding value – how to explore and capitalize on value
- Negative value – how to recognize and avoid negative value
- Managing expectations – how to choose your area of negotiation
- Preparing – how to find out what you don't know
- Setting goals – how to set goals and limits
- Developing power – how to think and plan ahead
- Controlling timing – how to use "time-outs" to enhance negotiation
- Closing a deal – how to use a simple approach
- Walking away – how to recognize when to walk away
Role-play forms an integral part of the course, starting with simple cases and moving on to more challenging situations as the course progresses.
