Overview:
Projects are one negotiation after another. Negotiation skills are among the most important any project manager can possess. This course features a major new case study from Northwestern University’s Dispute Resolution Resource Center. The case exercise, which spans across both days, thrusts participants into the position of negotiators who must deliver results against a deadline. Do you establish alliances or go on your own? Do you include your opponent … or fight them? As Walt Disney demonstrated years ago the most effective learning situations are taught through experience, not lecture. If you want to sit down and have someone talk at you for two days this is NOT the course for you. You will be engaged, energized and stretched.
