AMA2513 Negotiating to Win
AMA2513 Negotiating to Win Course Details:
Whether you're allocating resources for a project, funding a new initiative or establishing a supply chain for a new product or service, negotiation is inevitably at the heart of the process. But few people understand the structure, techniques, and approaches available to them as they seek to positively influence an outcome.
This hands-on seminar gives you a step-by-step guide to effective negotiation. You must identify the problem, understand it from the other's perspective, generate alternative solutions, and select a solution that benefits both sides. All parties need each other to achieve their goals. Negotiation focuses on solving the problem and closing the gap between what both parties want.
You'll leave the course with AMA's Negotiation Planner to help you prepare your negotiations every step of the way and effectively apply your newly learned know-how.
Note: This program in not intended for labor union negotiators of either side.
