Negotiating Variations to Contracts Training Course

Negotiating Variations To Contracts Training Courses should be considered for your project management team. Even if some of your people are not formally negotiating, it might be useful if they see the costs of concessions. Sometimes concessions are given away without a knowledge of the cost consequences. Changing project parameters can also be very costly.

Course Description

Discover how to disrupt a strong argument with an alternative offer. The alternative offer(s) will have been strategised and conceptualised beforehand. People get conditioned about the outcomes of contract variations. If you’re weary of constantly getting squeezed, then this course is a breath of fresh air. It’s also a chance to mix up your representation. It’s like playing chess. If you play the same moves, the opposition will be easily able to outwit you. But if you mix up your moves, then you’re changing the game. The negotiating variations to contracts in-house workshop is an opportunity to revisit your negotiating style and win more concessions.
