Rarely are important business decisions made independently. Significant opportunities require working with, and through, other people who may bring an entirely different vision and need-set to the table. Learning to negotiate and collaborate “on the fly” is extremely difficult at best, absent any clear feedback. In this highly interactive course, participants progress through a series of challenging problems and experiences, gaining tools and strategic insights that can be readily applied to drive success in future competitive interactions.
