Influence, Negotiation & Stakeholder Management

Course aim

To practically apply advanced negotiation and influence tactics and develop plans to achieve successful stakeholder management for win-win negotiation outcomes.

Course content

This course equips executive leaders with negotiation skills to develop strong plans and implement influence and persuasion strategies while managing multiple negotiation stakeholders to achieve win-win outcomes.

Participants will learn and apply techniques and tools to identify high-priority issues, trade-offs, aspirations and walk-away points in negotiations, analyse the defence-related power bases of negotiators and evaluate the appropriate negotiation tactics (power plays; emotional regulation and offer-making) to develop a negotiation plan and strategy.

In order to execute these techniques and tactics, participants will also develop the knowledge on how to build rapport and trust and achieve strong coalition building to impact financial and relational negotiation outcomes.
