Service Management: Strategies For Negotiation And Communication
- Innovation & Business Improvement
This programme is conducted on-campus.
2 days
Weekdays (9am - 6pm)
SMU
Who Should Attend
Professionals with managerial and/ or stakeholder management responsibilities where negotiation, conflict resolution and influencing others plays a key part in business deliverables.
Overview
With organisations allocating ever more resources in their strategies and channels, a critical stage to determine whether a deal is clinched is the manner in which the negotiation and communication process was handled.
This dynamic aspect cannot be undermined as we interact with internal and external stakeholders, business-to-business customers (B2B) or end-user customers (B2C). Achieving sustainable success and building differentiated memorable relationships rests largely on how we manage our business engagements.
This module is available on a standalone basis.
