COURSE DESCRIPTION

Negotiation and conflict resolution are integral parts of daily life and working with people. Project managers need the skill to handle people problems before they affect performance whether the problems are within the team or with clients, customers, and stakeholders. This course covers the foundations of negotiation, negotiation strategy including planning and framing, how to recognize and prepare for the phases of a negotiation, and how cultural differences are increasingly playing a role in the global economy. Another aspect of working with people is how to deal with the inevitable conflicts that may arise. Project managers and program managers are called upon to resolve conflicts not only within their teams but also with clients, customers, and other stakeholders. This course will also cover constructive and destructive conflict, conflict resolution styles, and various approaches to conflict resolution.
