Course Objectives

This is a 2-day program which focuses more extensively on negotiation tactics and the behavioural aspects of negotiation, building upon these by offering individuals the opportunity to develop their negotiation skills using video-based role-play. The program also provides a refresher in the core elements such as the pillars of negotiation, persuasion techniques and phases bringing these into a procurement context. The behavioural focus is designed to enable participants to respond to different styles and to embed assertive behaviour.
