Overview
Where many stakeholders are working within a complex scenario, the skilled negotiator is comfortable with the inherent ambiguity, at once careful and nimble in responding to new information and changing positions.
In this advanced negotiation course, we will crack open some of the fundamental negotiation principles and show you how, where and why design thinking can add unique value to your negotiation skills and outcomes. Mapping and designing the structure and process of your negotiation; understanding tools to gain empathy for the stakeholders involved; learning different styles of negotiation; practicing spontaneity, adaptability and presence in the moment; teamwork in preparation and team dynamics in the execution of a negotiation. You will work through exercises that isolate these skills and then apply them in simulated negotiations, at least one in every class session, to improve your confidence and competence as a negotiator.
This course requires an application and acceptance by the instructors. If you have already taken a basic negotiation course, or have demonstrable professional negotiation experience, we invite you to apply. No previous design thinking experience is required, though certainly useful.
