Negotiate Win-Win Scenarios

Learn how to build stronger partnerships while ensuring you’re being heard.

Negotiating effectively is key to resolving conflicts, creating value, and pushing for better outcomes. Negotiating without manipulating is essential to keeping your soul and honoring your colleagues. You want to do both well at the same time.

In this course, you’ll state your case for better and what you won’t agree to.

All levels

Program goal

Add negotiation skills to your repertoire. Be the first to act in a negotiation and gain a competitive psychological advantage.

Topics Covered

The Negotiation Canvas

The Negotiation Canvas is a one-page, easy-to-use tool that guides people step-by-step through a negotiation. The Canvas is one of the most efficient and effective ways to prepare and conduct any negotiation and strengthen relationships in the process.

Presenting Choices You Can Live with

Too often, we present solutions we don’t actually want to make or build. Learn how to present only the choices you’re willing to take part in.

Anchoring

Being the first to act can establish a cognitive bias when your counterpart depends too heavily on your initial offer (considered to be the "anchor") while making their decision.

The Innovation Ambition Matrix

Developed by Bansi Nagji and Geoff Tuff, The Innovation Ambition Matrix is a template that helps teams determine which ideas and features that should be prioritized based on whether they are part of the core offer or are an innovative expansion of the core.
