Online course: Negotiation Excellence - Create value through negotiations
In two half-days virtual workshops in Microsoft, you get the tools and methods to strengthen your negotiations skills.
Online Negotiation
More and more Negotiations are held online via Microsoft Teams, Zoom and other virtual platforms. This requires technical skills but also knowledge of digital communication and negotiation. The technique and online negotiations challenge the way we usually discuss, argue, make demands and bring new solutions into play in a negotiation.
Negotiation Excellence
In Negotiation Excellence the focus is on cooperation and creating value based on the different prerequisites often found on the different sides of the table. This program will supply you with the necessary tools, structure, and training so you can execute your negotiation strategy with the strongest results possible.
Partnership as strategy requires a great deal from the negotiator including analysis, strategy, negotiation techniques, communication and psychology – all central elements when trying to obtain the best results and a strong position.
Using case training you will learn how to prepare, use negotiation tactics, communicate and get insights on your negotiation behavior.

Outline of the program
This virtual training program is built around theory and active learning. You will be challenged and take an active part in the program – this is NOT a webinar. You will receive direct and constructive feedback related to the daily negotiation challenges. The program is built on experiences from more than 3000 professionals in more than 15 countries working with companies as Carlsberg, Saint Gobain, Deloitte, Norden, Carl Ras & FLSmidth and many more.
The training program will be a mixture of overall teaching and breakout sessions for preparation. Case simulations of real negotiations will help you to use the theories correct. Negotiations typically take place "two vs two", and an instructor will be available for questions and review of the strategy.
Video recording in combination with the instructor’s observation will be used on the program to give the participants feedback at the negotiation situations.
