We propose both - public access and in-house trainings (see herebelow).

Our in-house programs are fully customized for your organization. We work closely with you to determine seminar content, then write the cases, exercises, and practice negotiations from scratch to meet your needs. We build in the real-world complexities and constraints your team faces. Participants gain knowledge and skills they can immediately use within their professional & personal life.

 


We use an interactive pedagogy


Our courses uses the simulation “Case-play” method, actively involving the participants in a series of realistic and original case studies and exercises, combined with theoretical lectures.

A typical half-day training module contains a theoretical lecture, team preparation, team negotiations and a video replay to analyse their negotiation capability.

The participants have various opportunities to learn in each module:

  • From their personal negotiator profile (using the H.B.D.I.TM profiling tool)
  • From the theoretical lectures
  • By preparing their negotiations
  • By watching others negotiate
  • By negotiating themselves and
  • From the video analysis of their own performance

During all of our courses there is a group discussion session where the participants’ particular problems, difficulties and issues can be raised, debated and wherever possible, specific advice and guidance offered by the negotiation trainer.

Our negotiation simulation programs are based on model technology licensing negotiations or other model cases. (These simulation cases are similar to what a real negotiation team might encounter).

Our trainers have trained European teams from some of the world's largest and most important companies.

According to the determined objectives, simulation and training programs are tailored to customer objectives, and 1 to 4 day programs are most commonly chosen by customers. We regularly run a one day follow-up session for those who have attended our negotiation trainings.

These are usually arranged at least 3 to 6 months after the course. The follow-up sessions are customised to each individual client’s needs and can accommodate up to 12 people. Increasingly we find participants attending the main programme for a second time in order to absorb more of the theory and have more practise.

Our customization process includes the following components:

  • Research and set goals: We will work closely with you to understand your business and your negotiation needs and, jointly, determine specific outcomes.
  • Create original case studies and exercises: Based on interviews with you and selected team members, we will design and write case studies, exercises, and practice negotiations focusing on the specific types of negotiations your team can expect to encounter.
  • Highly interactive training: Participants will apply negotiating concepts to real-life situations through a variety of fun, interactive exercises.
  • Intensive Q&A process: We set aside time in the program to address everyone’s key concerns and challenges. Before the program, each participant identifies key negotiating questions they want addressed by the end of the session. We post these items and then take the time throughout the program to answer everyone’s questions.  This Q&A process guarantees we address participants’ real concerns. Your team members leave with solutions that immediately impact and improve their negotiations.

Public open enrollment workshops are delivered on a regular basis in major metropolitan centers like Paris & London in French and/or in corporate English.

On-site workshops can be delivered in your corporate offices or in one of our training facilities, usually nice venues with conference rooms & accommodation.

Each class, whether a regularly scheduled negotiations class an on-site workshop, offers a personalized approach with participant personal feedback and coaching as a critical component.
