Project Management Negotiation Training

How do you consistently deliver your projects within budget and on time? As a successful project manager, your negotiation skills need to be amongst your strongest differentiators.

Our project management graduates report significant improvements in key indicators such as: preventing scope creep, getting variation orders signed off at high margins, renegotiating deadlines, avoiding and reducing claims, all while improving customer and stakeholder relationships.

How do we know? We measure three months after the course. When you follow our recommendations, you should expect to continue enjoying the above impressive results on your projects for the rest of your career.

Training Course Overview

Ours is a fun and highly interactive learning approach. Youโ€™ll be tackling true to life project management sim games, and then learning from in-depth graphical personalized feedback on your performance. Youโ€™ll join in on group discussions, Q&Aโ€™s and answer poll questions. Theory is kept to a minimum. Our toolsets make preparing for, controlling and agreeing projects quicker and easier.

Our sim game enables us to accommodate class sizes of up to 20. Enjoy an unrivalled level of detailed personalized feedback, accelerating your development. Youโ€™ll follow along using your participant guide, where youโ€™ll also note your areas of excellence and opportunity.
