Strategic Negotiations - Online

Become a more strategic negotiator

All of us negotiate all the time. Whether it is buying or selling, managing or working for others, dealing with friends, family, colleagues or workplace hierarchies, negotiation informs everything we do, every day. But how successful we are can vary. And forging agreement among people with diverse interests, perceptions or values can be challenging whatever the context.

Strategic Negotiations introduces you to the INSEAD Value Negotiation (VN) system. Developed using faculty research, the VN system deploys evidence-based and practice-tested tools and frameworks that accelerate your understanding of win-lose and win-win strategies. The VN system enhances any negotiator’s sophistication by introducing the strategic dimension to negotiation, while also consistently expanding its diagnostic and implementation dimensions.

You explore how to choose between win-lose or win-win, when each strategy is most likely to be effective, and how strategic negotiation can drive effective, long-term outcomes. 

Participants joining from our Negotiation Fundamentals programme will be able to leverage their previous experience and knowledge to generate sophisticated questions and drive rich debate, while maintaining independence of opinion and freedom of choice.
