1 International Executive Program Executive Negotiation Workshop From Experienced to Expert Negotiator 4-Day November 11-14, 2014, Tuesday-Fryday Madrid, Spain

2 From Experienced to Expert Negotiator Location: IE Business School Campus in Madrid, Spain Duration: 4 days, 9am to 6pm Investment: Overview Each of us negotiates something of huge importance for our business every day. Studies suggest that many of us spend up to 40% of our working time negotiating: be that internally with superiors, peers or subordinates, or externally with clients, customers, suppliers and our business partners. And we only have to read the news headlines, to see that the level of conflict is increasing good news for lawyers perhaps - but not for the business community. It is curious, therefore, that the process of negotiation, and the skills required to do it well, are not always part of our studies and on-the-job training. 2 Leaving aside the business case, steering the path away from conflict, towards more consensual approaches, lessens the high personal cost of conflict between colleagues, friends and family. It is no surprise, therefore, that the short term I win and you lose tactics, are proving less effective than the higher value agreements built on the foundation of trust, joint problem solving and mutual gain. In this complex and changing business environment, therefore, it has never been more important to revisit the way we negotiate and get better solutions. Program objectives This workshop will help you to: Know your own negotiation style, your strengths and weaknesses, and improving your personal effectiveness in complex negotiations - through self-assessment, peer feedback and guidance from the experienced faculty. Understand the person at the other side of the negotiation table, then knowing how to adapt your negotiation strategy to get the best outcome. Apply frameworks and developing proven tools for analyzing negotiations, creating the highest value for your business. Gain a deeper understanding of the different stages of the negotiation process through preparation and opening, to the exploration of interests and options, before closing a successful agreement. Become more advanced in your negotiation style, through a deepened analysis of new and previous negotiation experiences.

3 International Executive Program PROGRAM CONTENT The program is fronted by Professors Moray McLaren and Mari Cruz Taboada, who share an agenda bearing a number of fundamental key topics including: Understanding how the concept and practice of negotiation has evolved How negotiation is developing over time and how professionals have adopted frameworks when negotiating effectively. Is everything negotiable? The do s and Don t s of negotiation The success of negotiation often depends on understanding your own core values as well as the other parties. This session will help you identify and understand the limits in negotiation and how far you can push your counterparts. Moving from f ighting over position to understanding interests It only through exploring underlying interests - our own business and personal agenda as well as that of the other side - that we can start exploring options for creating value and joint mutual benefit. Understanding integrated bargaining and creating value Learning about your own style and identifying your opponent s style before planning the best way forward. This session will help you to find the route to integrated agreements which can balance the needs of both parties to create value. Dealing with price This session will help the participants to understanding the difficult issue of value and price. At what stage in the process it is appropriate to establish the price and how to move another party up or down your preferred price range. 3 Understanding and working within emotional content Far from being structured and rational, recent studies illustrate the significance of the emotional and quite irrational aspects of negotiation. Managing emotions and learning to focus on the problem (not the people), is key to reaching your objective. The fundamental role of communication in effective negotiations Building empathy and trust is the key to a successful negotiation as well as longer term business relations. What we don t say is often more important that what we do say. This requires understanding our own communication style, as well as those of others, and knowing how to act accordingly towards the best outcome. Dealing with tough negotiators Not everybody has been on a negotiation course, and even the most skilled negotiator can be tested by the unlikely behavior of the person on the other side of the table. Arriving at the negotiation with clear alternatives, then knowing how to deal with the rough and tumble of negotiation for instance when financial muscle or hierarchy get in the way is the key to making this work for, and not against, your own case. Negotiating across borders and across cultures With business becoming increasingly global, we need to better understand (and use to our advantage) the ways in which culture can impact upon the negotiation process, style of negotiation and decision making systems. The closing stage of negotiation, making the agreement last Today s challenging business environment is seeing even the most successful relationships fail long standing agreements are being contested and Joint Ventures are ending in the courts. Learning to deal with the closing stage - treated by some negotiators as the final push for victory - while agreeing a realistic and sustainable agreement is one of the most difficult and testing stages of the process.
