Designed by the Wharton faculty who literally wrote the book on negotiation, this negotiation training program intentionally intersperses powerful classroom learning with self-paced individual and group practice over a six-week period. Each week, Professors Shell and Massey introduce new strategies and tools that are explored and tested in class. Throughout the week, participants work independently and in groups to pressure-test the concepts through planned exercises, mock negotiations, and conversations. Back in the classroom, the practice comes full circle during debriefs where faculty interprets the feedback, examines the breakdowns, and reinforces the learning. The work advances as the cycle repeats with incredible results. Negotiation and Influence will also address the unique challenges of conducting negotiations and exercising influence online in a virtual setting, including working with a limited set of visual cues and signals as well as the difficulty of gathering sufficient information. Here the virtual learning environment matches the setting for many negotiations these days, deepening the insight and the value of the exercises. The program format also supports the natural community building that is a hallmark of Wharton Executive Education programs, allowing participants real time to engage, interact, and network. You will become a part of a learning community comprised of participants from diverse geographic, cultural, industry, and functional backgrounds. Observing, collaborating, and negotiating with these colleagues will provide new perspectives while also revealing new approaches to emulate and errors to avoid. Session Spotlight: Coalitions — The Intersection of Negotiation and Influence The sixth and final session of Negotiation and Influence will focus on coalitions. As the program draws to a close, faculty will explain the power of this important — yet often misunderstood — tool, revealing: The role coalitions play in negotiations and influence How to create and change coalitions How to improve your leverage position by forming coalitions How you can hold coalitions together when they threaten to break apart How and when to activate your personal coalition (Negotiation and Influence: Making Deals and Strategy Work covers some of the same content taught in Executive Negotiation Workshop and Strategic Persuasion Workshop.) Who Should AttendSenior executives, entrepreneurs, government officials, and those in the military or medical professions with extensive experience will further develop their influence and negotiation skills in this training program. In fact, seasoned negotiators have reported dramatic growth by working with Wharton Professors Cade Massey and Richard Shell. Mid-level executives who must currently rely on influence (with or without authority) and/or conduct negotiations will benefit from identifying and building on personal influencing and negotiating strategies, strengths, and weaknesses. Those who are transitioning into a role in which they will need these vital skills will also benefit and are strongly encouraged to attend. All candidates must be able to understand written and spoken English, and to participate actively in intensive discussions and negotiations in the English language. Group EnrollmentTo further leverage the value and impact of this program, we encourage companies to send cross-functional teams of executives to Wharton. We offer group enrollment benefits to companies sending four or more participants.
