NEGOTIATION AND COLLABORATIVE DECISION MAKING
September 1-2, 2026 | UT Campus | $3,350

Turn Competition into Value. Find the Wins. Drive Alignment.

If you improved your negotiation outcomes by just 1%, what would that be worth?

In any organization, value must be created—and then actively secured. Every critical decision requires collaboration, yet navigating complex interactions without feedback or a clear framework could mean leaving opportunity, and revenue, on the table.

Through immersive, real-world simulations, you’ll master the strategy and tactics needed to prepare for high-stakes interactions, build lucrative partnerships, and reach better outcomes.
