Jim puts these into perspective and says don’t do that, don’t get deceived to negotiate. Always try to negotiate with the procedure. These small tips I think you should follow then use a lot of his input into each and every negotiation and hopefully we improve in time. It’s been a great two days!

Day 1: What "Win-Win" Negotiating is Really All About (24th May 2021)

The Negotiate to Win Workshop begins with participant introductions, an overview of the program’s content and methodology, and the establishment of ground rules. We then discuss participants’ goals and expectations for the Workshop and share personal best and worst negotiating experiences.

Module 1: Negotiation - What Lies Beneath

Module 1 takes a big-picture look at negotiating. We define it, consider some of the trends behind its growing, worldwide importance, and examine the surprising shortage of practical information about it. We then identify the all-important boundary between persuasion and negotiation, and look at similarities and differences in negotiating style among cultures.

Module 2: What “Win-Win” Negotiating Is Really All About

Module 2 looks at how humans come pre-wired with a deep-seated need to save face – and a burning desire to retaliate when we don’t. We also look at some historical examples of good not-so-good negotiating. 

Day 2: The 21 Rules of Negotiating (25th May 2021)

Module 3: The Critical Rules of Negotiating

When you boil down all the clichés, theories, and folklore about negotiating, you wind up with a handful of techniques that actually work. These techniques – the 21 Rules of Negotiating – are the heart and soul of good negotiating, and are explained in Modules 3, 4, and 5. We begin with Rules 1-7, the Critical Rules of Negotiating.

Module 4: The Important But Obvious Rules of Negotiating

Module 4 covers Rules 8 - 11, the Important But Obvious Rules of Negotiating

Module 5: The “Nice To Do” Rules of Negotiating

Module 5 examines the last of the 21 Rules of Negotiating, Rules 12 - 21 – also known as the “Nice To Do” Rules. Then, with the Rules explained, we embark on the second of the Workshop’s five exercises. 

Day 3: Pre-Negotiating Preparations (26th May 2021)

Module 6: Concession Management

Good concession management is second nature to every accomplished negotiator. Drawing on the results of yesterday’s Second Negotiation Exercise, participants rapidly develop competence in this key skill.

Module 7: Pre-negotiation Homework

Underpreparation, inadequate information, and disorganization are common mistakes made by less effective negotiators. Here we ensure that attendees prepare properly for their negotiations.

Day 4: Negotiating Successfully (27th May 2021)

Module 8: Performing a Successful Negotiation

In Module 8 the Rules meet the real world. Here we look at the practicalities of actually carrying out a winning negotiation.

Module 9: Navigating Negotiation’s Minefields

Negotiations don’t always go as smoothly as we’d like. Effective negotiators must be prepared for negotiation’s occasional but predictable special challenges. Here we provide guidelines to help you recognize and manage them.

Module 10: Negotiation Leadership

As we approach the end of the Workshop, we offer suggestions about negotiation leadership, including ideas for implementing good negotiating practices at your organization. Attendees also complete their Personal Negotiating Action Plans for review by the instructor.
