Programme Description

Life, like business, is a web of negotiated outcomes. Managers must appreciate the art and science of negotiation for strategic advantage. Negotiation skills are critical for successful outcomes in various scenarios, such as business deals, contracts, conflict resolution, and team collaborations.

A lack of the necessary expertise to negotiate effectively leads to missed opportunities, compromised agreements, and strained relationships. Without mastering the principles and practices of negotiation, professionals risk being disadvantaged in negotiations, hindering their career growth and organisational success.

This training programme is developed around six “Key Negotiation Lessons,” namely:

  • Avoiding unreasonable or arbitrary positions
  • Avoiding prejudices showing through.
  • Avoiding ultimatums and threats.
  • Presenting arguments calmly, without personalising
  • Explaining positions logically and frankly
  • Recognizing legitimate concerns and needs of the other side.

Broad Competencies Addressed

  • Ability to assess one’s central negotiating style – collaborate, compromise, defeat, withdraw, or accommodate.
  • Ability to assess one’s true power in any negotiation process
  • Ability to concede without losing out.
  • Ability to employ any of the several tactics negotiators use and manage when other parties try any of them.
  • Ability to assess a genuine crisis, not a contrived one, and employ the correct negotiating tactics at the right time.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the training programme, participants will be able to;

  1. Understand the Fundamentals of Negotiation: Comprehensively understand negotiation principles, theories, and strategies.
  2. Develop Effective Communication Skills: Enhance communication and interpersonal skills to convey interests, needs, and priorities during negotiations effectively.
  3. Build Confidence: Provide practical techniques and approaches to boost their confidence in negotiation scenarios.
  4. Create Win-Win Solutions: Ability to identify mutual gains and create win-win negotiation solutions.
  5. Handle Challenges: Navigate challenging negotiation situations, such as conflicts, deadlocks, and power imbalances.
