Negotiations Simulation And Strategy

"Excellent training. Great instruction. Simulation is set up really well."

"The breakout sessions made me feel like I was in a classroom environment."

"I can't say enough about how good this training was ... I learned so much and I greatly appreciate all of the resource materials provided in the workbook. The presenters are engage and quite frankly, they were able to take a topic that is less than sexy and make it interesting and engaging."

This online core Academy provides negotiators with the chance to participate in a negotiations simulation, including planning, face-to-face bargaining, dealing with impasse, and debrief.

In addition to the negotiations simulation, this Academy program addresses:

  • The union-management relationship and traditional cultures.
  • Planning a settlement pattern for multiple units.
  • Effectively obtaining parameters.
  • Strike triage.
