Executive Negotiation Business Suite
Most negotiations are won or lost in the preparation - before the actual negotiation starts. Understanding the basic principles of negotiation, how to analyse both your own and your opponent’s position effectively, and having awareness of the common mistakes made by inexperienced negotiators is critical to improving your negotiation influence. The Evolution-U Business Negotiation Suite offers a series of intensive and interactive trainings covering the key theories of negotiation and their application.
All trainings actively use role plays and/or case studies to give participants reference points for practical applications relevant to each participant. For further information on course dates and how to register, please contact enquiries@evolution-u.com.
