Managers and senior executives at all levels.

A two day course.

We negotiate all the time both in our private and business lives. All too often, the process of negotiating is overlooked and the differences between parties are seen as either an exercise to persuade the other side to our point of view or we avoid the process of negotiation because it’s too uncomfortable.  Emotionally, the negotiator has to decide upon and act accordingly in the struggle between the desire to get value contrasted with the desire to build or maintain a relationship with the other side. This workshop explores both the process and personal behavioural elements and provides the attendants with a toolbox of techniques to take away so that they can both perform better and enjoy negotiating. The role plays and exercises used will be relevant to those in many industries including Biopharma and will cover negotiations that involve single, multiple and complex issues including uncertainty and knowledge imbalance. This workshop which is intensive and role play based will provide practical ways in which one can build a process of negotiation techniques and behaviour which will improve both professional and personal relationships, develop Collaborative Negotiation as a way of behaving and deliver better lasting deals for you and your company.
