Change management is a process that aims to effectively introduce change in an organization to achieve desired goals and adapt to a changing environment. It requires understanding the reasons why change is necessary, identifying areas requiring modification and clearly defining the goals and benefits that the change is to bring. Change management is a dynamic process that requires flexibility, openness to feedback and readiness to adapt the strategy depending on people's reactions and changing conditions. It is also crucial to understand that change will not always be easy, so it is important to create a plan that takes into account both organizational goals and the needs of individuals in the change process.

Cultural differences can have a significant impact on teamwork. Different cultures may prefer different communication styles, such as direct, indirect, expressive, or more evasive. This may lead to differences in the interpretation of messages. Gestures, tone of voice, and words used can have different meanings in different cultures. Something that is acceptable in one culture may be offensive in another. Different cultures may have different approaches to hierarchy in the workplace. Some cultures may be more hierarchical, where decisions are made by people higher up in the hierarchy. Cultures differ in their approach to working time and deadlines. Some cultures may value punctuality more, while others may be more flexible. Different cultures may have different approaches to conflict. Some cultures may avoid confrontation, while others may prefer open conflict resolution. In some cultures, decisions are made after consultation and team discussions, while in others decisions are made by a single leader. Different cultures have different perceptions and approaches to diversity. It is important to build awareness and respect for cultural differences in the workplace. In teamwork, it is crucial to understand and respect cultural differences. Building an atmosphere of open communication, respect and flexibility in accepting diversity can help manage cultural differences and create an effective work environment. This also opens the door to benefiting from diversity through diverse perspectives and ideas.

Course Overview

The target audience for this course comprises mid-level and senior managers who already possess some negotiation experience. Our goal is to develop more advanced methods to make us more effective negotiators. This course builds on the participants' existing knowledge to further enhance their skills and transform them into stronger, more experienced negotiators.

A win-win strategy focuses on finding solutions where both parties feel successful, rather than just concentrating on individual needs. This approach helps establish long-term relationships and partnerships—including with clients, suppliers, and within our own organizations—which lay a positive foundation for future negotiations. If you dominate in negotiations but later find that you still need to work with the same organization, future business will become difficult.

We aim to help senior managers leverage their strengths and experiences to further develop their natural abilities and use practical negotiation frameworks. You will learn to approach every negotiation with a plan and gain the knowledge and confidence to achieve your goals. This highly interactive and engaging course teaches negotiation skills from some of the world's top business schools.
