The skills of negotiation you need to build long-term value for your business

Overview

A commercially aware approach to negotiation should consider and build upon both the buy-side and sell-side perspectives of planning, preparing and developing a strategic supplier relationship. This is essential to avoid negotiating in a way that will ultimately erode value. In this learning programme, we examine the skills and structure of negotiation that are needed to build better trust, collaboration and long-term value for the business, for stakeholders and for a stronger supply chain.
