Your Challenge

Poorly handled negotiations can add up to detrimental costs for an organization. By studying 25,000 negotiations, Copenhagen Business School has found that one-third of negotiations fail to reach a decision at all.
As the source of learning and development for the organization, HR is relied upon to address negotiation training for employees involved in negotiations, including managers.
Negotiation training can be expensive to administer, time consuming to create, and difficult to put together in a comprehensive manner that will impact participants in the training session.
