Negotiations take place all around us. The Performance Management Academy believes that free and open communications lead to healthy, vibrant and successful companies where viewpoints and ideas are exchanged readily. Varying organizational goals and objectives result in the need for internal and external negotiations resulting in the requirement for business people to be trained in this essential life skill. The Art of Negotiation (in Organizations) explores the strategic aspects of negotiating and provides the tools to prevent and resolve disputes and secure desired and negotiated outcomes.

Course Summary:

The Performance Management Academy recognizes that Managers and employees require the appropriate skills to engage in open discussions and negotiations with each other and with internal and external customers. As negotiation takes place around us, management and staff need to be skilled and confident in negotiating techniques.  The goal of negotiations is mutual satisfaction and having the needs met of all parties involved as well as the overall needs of the organization. This course helps you to prepare and conduct real-world negotiations with business partners, clients, suppliers and colleagues.

Testimonials

"Having Performance Management Academy work with our team was the best decision we could make. Together, we learned the importance of being a good manager – armed with useful information, practical tools and a common language to bring forward as we work to improve the quality of our interactions with one another and our staff. Our facilitator was very skilled and took every opportunity to take our comments and questions about present day situations in our work place, and put them in the context of the useful information we were learning through the course. It was interesting, engaging, and allowed us a whole new perspective on why, as managers, “how” we do something is just as important as “what” we do. I would recommend this workshop to any organization that values its employees and workplace health and productivity."

The Facilitator was most accommodating and I felt that all the people who participated felt very comfortable with him. He was very down to earth and extremely entertaining with his presentation style."
