• Conduct successful negotiations and achieve your own goals

Do you always achieve the desired result in your negotiations? Even highly experienced project managers could achieve significantly more if they acted more professionally in negotiations with clients, suppliers, customers or other stakeholders. We would like to work on this with you.

SEMINAR OBJECTIVES

In this negotiation training you will learn to conduct negotiations according to the Harvard model. You learn how to assert your interests and achieve results in your negotiations in which both sides win. You will learn how to prepare yourself comprehensively for such negotiations and how to conduct them in a targeted manner. You practice getting along well with difficult clients, suppliers or customers without losing sight of your own interests.

YOUR BENEFIT

The principle of this seminar is: short theory and a lot of practice. Practicing on many tricky case studies and negotiation situations – also from projects of the participants – enables a high degree of practical relevance. Participants receive individual feedback and suggestions for conducting their own negotiations and can, if desired, reflect on their negotiating skills by means of a video recording. This strengthens your negotiating competence and gives you confidence in dealing with difficult negotiations and negotiating partners. Certified participants receive 24 PDUs or a certificate of further education for IPMA.
