Negotiation: The Game has Changed
The world has changed dramatically in just the past few years—and so has the game of negotiation.
COVID-19, Zoom, political polarisation, the online economy, increasing economic globalization, and greater workplace diversity—all have transformed the who, what, where, and how of negotiation. Today, traditional negotiating tactics, while still effective, need to be tailored to vastly different situations and circumstances.
Negotiation: The Game Has Changed outlines how to negotiate successfully today by adapting proven negotiation principles and strategies to the challenging new contexts you face—from negotiating across cultural and political differences to trying to reach an agreement over Zoom or during a supply chain crisis.

Sustainability in Turbulent Times: Circularity and Growth at BIC Lighter
How do you build circularity into a product never designed for it—while strengthening your business and its strategic autonomy?
In this one-hour interview, INSEAD Professors Karel Cool and Atalay Atasu speak with François Clément-Grandcourt, General Manager of BIC’s Lighter Division, about the strategic transformation of one of BIC’s most iconic businesses.
The conversation examines how BIC has used circularity to reconfigure its value chain, unlock new revenue pools, and reduce structural dependence on global suppliers—turning sustainability constraints into levers for resilience, control, and long-term performance. A concrete case of strategy execution at scale, this session will resonate with alumni interested in competitive strategy, operations, and the geopolitics of supply chains.
Panelists:
- François Clément-Grancourt (EMBA’09D), Member of the BIC Group Executive Committee, General Manager BIC’s Lighter Division
- Atalay Atasu, Professor of Technologies and Operations Management, Academic Director, INSEAD Sustainable Business Initiative
- Karel Cool, Professor of Strategic Management, the BP Chaired Professor of European Competitiveness, INSEAD

Power and Politics in Professional Careers
Power and Politics in Professional Careers
New York - 09h00 to 10h00 / London - 13h00 to 14h00 / Paris - 14h00 to 15h00 / Dubai - 17h00 to 18h00 / Singapore - 21h00 to 22h00
Many professionals believe that if they work hard, and deliver results, their careers will take care of themselves. They are wrong. Wanting “office politics” not to exist does not make it go away.
Part of the problem is that politics at work is hidden. Firms insist that decisions are meritocratic. Skilful operators conceal the extent of their political activity.
But power and politics are not a failure of professionalism, more a defining feature of knowledge work in large complex organisations. This is true in professional services, but also in finance, healthcare, education, government and beyond.
In this webinar, we will draw on Professor Laura Empson’s research into professional services firms to show how mid-career professionals can learn to better navigate power and politics at work.
We will discuss:
- How to see past the organogram and map real power at work
- Why political behaviour is not a bug, but an integral part of organisational life
- How much time and energy successful senior leaders devote to politics
- Why your rational business case may fail to persuade, and what to do instead
- How to better understand the psychological needs of your colleagues and bosses.
