Negotiation & Decision Making

COURSE DETAILS:

In today’s complex business environment, executives are expected to negotiate deals, alliances, and internal agreements while simultaneously making fast, consequential decisions – often under uncertainty, time pressure, and conflicting stakeholder interests. Yet most leaders have never had the opportunity to study these disciplines systematically.

This two-day immersive training addresses that gap. It combines conceptual frameworks drawn from negotiation theory, behavioral economics, and decision science with intensive practice through simulation exercises grounded in real executive scenarios.
