Introduction
Negotiation skills are critical to sustain and enhance your leadership position and improve your business and personal transactions. You negotiate all the time, whether internal negotiations with a board and colleagues or external negotiations with representatives of another organization, negotiations with family and so on.
Our Seminar offers Practical Frameworks to Enhance Negotiation Success.
Around the world, negotiators tend to rely on their instincts without the benefit of a systematic framework. As a result, negotiations often fail to maximize mutual gains and are unnecessarily adversarial. This seminar introduces participants to cutting edge analytical frameworks and approaches developed by the Harvard Negotiation Project over the past 30 years to better create and distribute value in a negotiation, as well as to deal with the emotional dimension. These approaches have been widely accepted around the world, and the Harvard Negotiation Project has successfully applied them in business negotiations as well as international conflicts including the 1979 Iran Hostage Conflict, Egypt-Israel Peace Negotiation, the 1998 Ecuador–Peru Territory Negotiation, the Central American Peace Negotiation, and the US-Soviet Arms Negotiations.
