About the Workshop
Conventional Wisdom in Negotiation is Obsolete, Irrelevant & Destructive. The ability to negotiate effectively is critical to every aspect of running your game studio or publishing organization. This is a proven workshop designed to level up your skills in negotiation taught by one of The Wharton School's most in-demand professors, Stuart Diamond. Professor Diamond’s book on negotiations, Getting More: How To Be A More Persuasive Person in Work and Life, is a New York Times bestseller and #1 U.S. business bestseller on the Wall Street Journal and USA Today lists.
Through this intensive two-day workshop, you and others from your organization can learn and implement this innovative model in a variety of formats that meet your needs. You'll learn to focus on people and perceptions first and create much more value compared to the outdated methods from the 1970s which you find all over the video game industry.
Most people are not as successful, happy or persuasive as they wish because they have received bad advice since they were children on how to deal with others. Power. Leverage. Logic. Threats. Walking Out. Win-Win. Saying you have another offer. This advice is based on impersonal law and economics principles developed over 40 years ago. If you think that’s OK, try getting through the day in our fast-changing world with 40-year-old tools like a manual typewriter or rotary phone.
Participants in this workshop will:
Gain a better ability to focus on and meet goals. Everyone says “goals,” but we show how to actually meet them
Make commitments that stick by finding out how the other party makes commitments
Uncover the perceptions of others and use them to create value
Turn transactions into relationships; develop linkages
Build more effective teams and consensus. An effective team is fair-minded to each member, something that happens too infrequently
Deal more effectively with emotional and cultural issues
Act faster in real time to quickly solve problems - this is a key success factor in this century
Use differences and disagreements to add value instead of create conflict
Think more strategically about negotiation. This is not a series of tricks or tactics; it’s a way of interacting with others that has lifetime benefits. You will see the forest and the trees
