Course Detail

Programme Overview:

The art of negotiation is as old as humankind. We, as people, negotiate every day. We negotiate with current and potential employers, co-workers, subordinates, vendors, clients, bosses, merchants, service providers, and even with our friends and family. Yet, although people negotiate all the time, most know very little about the strategy and psychology of effective negotiations.

The Mastering Negotiation and Influence programme is designed to be relevant to a broad spectrum of negotiation problems that are faced by the manager and professionals. A basic premise of this programme is that while managers need analytical skills to develop optimal solutions to problems, they also require a broad array of negotiation skills for these solutions to be accepted and implemented.

Programme Outcomes:

  • Develop powerful and practical strategies to improve negotiation effectiveness in one-to-one, multi-party, and multi-issue negotiations.
  • Reconsider your approach to negotiations from competitive to collaborative, from win-lose to win-win, from winning-it-all to effective problem-solving.
  • Learn and apply highly effective methods of influence and persuasion.
  • Advance your knowledge on how to engage in reciprocal influence for mutual gain.
  • Get up to speed with the latest research on negotiation analysis.
  • Gain a wide range of perspectives by negotiating with your peers who are experienced business leaders from diverse backgrounds and geographies.
