Masterclass and engage in practical dialogues with senior business professionals from across various fields.

2. Principles of Master-Negotiation
Overview
Effective negotiation helps you to resolve situations where what you want conflicts with what someone else wants. The aim of win-win negotiation is
to find a solution that is acceptable to both parties, and leaves both parties feeling that they’ve won in some way, after the event.
This programme explores the nature of negotiation and how skilful negotiation can be used to achieve sustainable and successful business relationships. It
advocates the development of strategic thinking before a negotiation to reduce adversarial conflict and reviews the real merits of win-win outcomes.
The programme looks at detailed preparation within the context of the business and the desired outcome of the negotiation. It considers the processes
involved and advocates the use of a consultative approach to understand the underlying needs, concerns and interests of the other party. The
programme reveals mechanisms to reduce conflict – inherent in most negotiations, and looks at techniques for managing difficult situations.
