Overview

The 2 day workshop will teach executives to create value in deals and disputes. Participants will learn to prepare effectively for negotiation, make good decisions in the heat of a negotiation, set ambitious but realistic goals and deal with hard bargainers. They will learn how to shape important deals, negotiate in uncertain environments, improve working relationships, claim (and create) more value, and resolve seemingly intractable disputes. In short, this program equips them to achieve better outcomes at the bargaining table, every single time.

This is the first time the Harvard Programme of Negotiation will be delivered in Ireland and the UK. Mr Bordone is Thaddeus R. Beal Clinical Professor of Law, Harvard law School and the Director of the Harvard Negotiation and Mediation Clinical Program. Mr Bordone is the anchor presenter on the Programme on Negotiation at Harvard Law School’s “Negotiation for Senior Executives”.  For further information on the Programme at Harvard see: http://www.pon.harvard.edu/
