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.
Negotiating contract variations can be difficult. But some teams are beaten before the conversation happens. Instead of negotiating harder, you are hoisting the flag of surrender. This course is designed to give you new tools and insights to win more concessions. Discover a disciplined approach to managing change orders. You’ll become more formidable negotiators and influencers. We’ll even help you adjust your body language.
Participants also 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.
