About the Presentation
Project Managers have to be master negotiators, prepared to negotiate at a moment's notice with anyone from the executive project sponsor about increasing the project budget to a spouse about cancelling the family vacation to Disney World because the project schedule has changed. Even the most mature and confident PM experiences some anxiety when it comes to negotiating.
This program offers information about how to prepare, execute and implement any negotiation. It covers the common mistakes that people make when negotiating.
Participants will leave this session with many ideas for improving the outcomes their own negotiations.
